Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal reached their first Champions League final in 20 years by defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0 in a tight and tense encounter on Tuesday to progress 2-1 on aggregate.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are on the brink of a historic campaign after yet another impressive win in this competition. So much of the focus this season has been on their attempt to end a 22-year wait for a league title that their superb unbeaten run in Europe feels like it has gone under the radar.

As Arsenal push for multiple titles across the 2025/26 season, Bukayo Saka's continued struggles to stay fit have highlighted the difference in Arsenal's performances with and without their star forward.
