Arsenal Reach First Champions League Final in Two Decades After Hard-Fought Win

Arsenal secured a spot in the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years by defeating Atletico Madrid 2-1 on aggregate, with Bukayo Saka’s halftime goal delivering the decisive edge and a stout defensive showing sealing the win. Declan Rice starred with a crucial early tackle, and Arsenal survived two late near-misses from Giuliano Simeone to advance. They will face Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in Budapest on May 30, in a final that looms as Arsenal’s history bid.
