Arsenal are just 360 minutes away from completing a historic double this season. On Tuesday, the Gunners secured their place in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, winning the semifinal tie 2-1 on aggregate.
Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the second leg just before halftime, sending the Emirates Stadium into a frenzy. From there, it was a masterclass in defensive resilience as Arsenal held firm against relentless pressure from Diego Simeone's side.
This marks Arsenal's first Champions League final appearance in 20 years, since their memorable run in 2006. The club has never lifted European football's biggest prize, but that could change on May 31 when they face either PSG or Bayern Munich in the final.
Even more remarkable? The Gunners are in prime position to win back-to-back Premier League titles for the first time since their legendary "Invincibles" season in 2004. With the league and Champions League finals now just seven days apart, Mikel Arteta's men are chasing glory on two fronts.
