Arsenal reach Champions League final after 1-0 win over Atlético
Bukayo Saka scored the only goal as Arsenal beat Atlético Madrid 1-0 at the Emirates, sending the Gunners through 2-1 on aggregate to the Champions League final. Gabriel dominated defensively and Declan Rice controlled midfield, both earning high ratings alongside Saka. The victory gives Mikel Arteta's team a shot at their first Champions League title and caps a major step in Arsenal's resurgence in European competition.
Not a game replete with chances, but Arsenal have been the team most in control. Atletico sitting off and deep when we have it, and it's been really tough to break down. And then we found a way. Saka's movement is so good as the Trossard shot comes in, 1-0 to the Arsenal. A good place to be at HT
mudow.bsky.social12NAAH THAT FIRST HALF FROM SALIBA!!!! Bonafide world class player
danb74.bsky.social8Alot of credit to Victor as well for that one
Craig Shapes5Martins Odegaard and Zubimendi off the bench second half, let’s play keep ball!!
djourou2giroud5Is it Clive who always says you have to earn the right to play before you can play? We spent most of that half slowly winning the physical battle. In the last 10 mins that started translating into us pushing them back and showing more threat. Keep at it. Simeone will throw changes at us.
Noles/Heat/Arsenal4I need a photoshop of Saka and gyok in a kitchen both wearing chef hats.
Toe Knee4I fucken love Bukayo Ayoyinka Temidayo Moses Saka!
Prof Gyles4Not forgetting a great run from Gyokeres and some excellent hold-up play all half. He’s really coming into his own and everyone is quickly adapting.
Declan Healy3Gyokeres making a late run for player of the season.. another excellent performance in a vital game for me. We have the lead so they have to come out now…
District Gooner Pod2You can replete that for the ppl in the back.
Sam Elliot2And Gyokeres is a different man
JB2this Atleti do tend to score a lot of goals. Think they'll be better in that they have to come out now, bit like the second half last week. Plenty of work to do but quality first half.
A year ago I booked a holiday over late May. On the final day of the Premier League season, I will be starting a trek to Machu Picchu and halfway up a mountain when we play Palace and for the Champions League final I will be at Lake Titicaca. Will be at both matches in spirit. Come on Arsenal.
Miko Gooner8The spirits of the Inca-pié will carry you.
Gaël5Who’s gonna do the stats then?!
Gunner Mig4I believe there is a local speciality you can take to help take your spirit all the way to Budapest.
aharvey24.bsky.social3I’m on a flight home from Turkey during the final. My logic was if I didn’t do it then it wouldn’t happen, so this was my offering to the universe. So many regrets now 😂
