Atletico Madrid out as Arsenal reach the UEFA Champions League final

Arsenal will face Bayern Munich or PSG in the UEFA Champions League final after beating Atletico in two legs.

This after Arsenal reached their first Champions League final in 20 years by beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 on aggregate.

Bukayo Saka’s first-half goal proved the difference in the return match after the teams drew 1-1 in Madrid last week.

In the second period, Atletico were denied a penalty for a challenge on Antoine Griezmann, while Viktor Gyokeres missed a glorious opportunity to put the hosts further ahead.

Arsenal will face Bayern Munich or PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday 30 May.
