Captain Bukayo Saka's tap-in just before the interval proved decisive for Arsenal to edge a cagey contest in which the hosts kept a ninth clean sheet in this season's competition.

The Gunners' defensive solidity was once again on display, as they maintained their ninth clean sheet in the competition this season. This resilience was key in stifling Atletico's dangerous attack, a testament to the team's tactical discipline and execution. The final, scheduled for May 30 in Budapest, presents a chance for Arsenal to etch their name into European football history, potentially capping off a dream season with the ultimate prize.

They will face either holders Paris St Germain, who knocked them out in last season's semi-finals, or Bayern Munich in the Puskas Arena in Budapest on May 30 - a week after they hope to have sealed a first Premier League title for 22 years.
