Arsenal secured a place in the Champions League final after a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. The game was marked by a struggle, with both teams questioning themselves as much as their opponents. Arsenal's advantage is clear as they have home advantage and their only home concession in this competition came in a dead rubber against Kairat. Despite a late injury to Julian Alvarez, Arsenal's performance was solid, with Declan Rice performing well in midfield. All three semifinalists have lost at the Emirates since the start of last season. Viktor Gyokeres was an outstanding performance, but Martin Odegaard was unlucky not to do more when he did not do more.
