Arsenal 1-0 (2-1 agg.) Atletico Madrid: Gunners reach first Champions League final in 20 years
Arsenal are headed to their first UEFA Champions League final since 2006 and will hope to lift club football's most prestigious trophy for the first time ever on May 31 after beating Atletico Madrid in north London on Tuesday. MORE ā Bayern Munich (4) vs PSG (5) Bukayo Saka scored the second leg's only goal in the 45th minute, when he put back Leandro Trossard's shot which was initially saved by Jan Oblak. The ball bounced away from Oblak inside the six-yard box and Saka was quickest to it.
Whereas the first leg in Madrid opened up and became an end-to-end affair after the break, Arsenal did an immense job to keep the second leg tight and heavily contested at every turn. Atletico Madrid had just nine shots on the night (two on target), totaling 0. 53 xG.
Arsenal will face either PSG or Bayern Munich in Budapest, Hungary on May 31. PSG lead 5-4 with the second leg to be played in Bavaria on Wednesday. Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid live updates - by Andy Edwards Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid final score: 1-0 (2-1 agg.
