Arsenal is back in the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years thanks to a late first-half goal from Bukayo Saka that secured a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. (Pics: AFP)


Saka slotted the rebound after Leandro Trossard's shot was saved by Jan Oblak in the 45th minute to score the only goal of the match, giving Arsenal a 2-1 win

The Gunners' excellent defence did the rest as Arsenal has now kept a clean sheet at home in all three knockout rounds

It will be only Arsenal's second final in Europe's premier competition, having lost the 2006 title match to Barcelona

It could prove a special season for the London club, who are now one game away from its first European Cup title and three games away from a first Premier League crown in 22 years.

Arsenal will face either defending champion Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in Budapest, Hungary, on May 30
