When Jan Oblak: Bukayo Saka's finish on the stroke of half-time helped Arsenal reach the Champions League final for the first time since 2006 following a tense evening in north London.

Saka's 44th-minute goal claimed 1-0 win for the Gunners in the semifinal second-leg against Atletico Madrid, and moved into the final with an aggregate 2-1 win.

Mikel Arteta's men dominated the early passages of play, but it was the visitors who carved out the opening opportunity with Julián Alvarez sweeping wide from a Giuliano Simeone cross via a swift attack eight minutes in.
