Arsenal edge past Atleti to reach first final in 20 years

from Official UEFA Champions League Podcast · host UEFA

We now have our first UEFA Champions League finalist. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side battled past Diego Simeone’s Atleti team in two tightly fought semi-final encounters to emerge 2-1 aggregate winners. The match-winner on the night in north London was Bukayo Saka, whose first-half goal secured the Gunners a decisive 1-0 second leg victory to see them progress to their first Champions League final since 2006.   We dissect all the action on a nervy night in north London and get reaction to Arsenal reaching the Budapest showpiece at the end of May, hearing from goalscorer Saka and their delighted manager Mikel Arteta.  We also look ahead to Wednesday’s tantalising semi-final second leg in Munich, where Bayern look to overturn an extraordinary 5-4 first leg deficit against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
