On the the strength of a 44th minute from Bukayo Saka, Arsenal survived its Champions League semifinal tilt with Atlético Madrid with a 1-0 victory.
The win pushed the Gunners into the Champions League final based on an aggregate score of 2-1. Arsenal will now face the winner of the other semifinal match. Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will meet on Wednesday (3PM EDT) at the Allianz Arena to determine which powerhouse will move on for a date with Arsenal.
As expected, Arsenal vs. Atlético Madrid
was a knock down, drag out brawl over the course of the two legs, a far cry from the craziness that was leg one of Bayern Munich vs. PSG. With a spot in the finale clinched, Arsenal can now focus on its attempt secure Champions League glory.
Midfielder Declan Rice stood out for Arsenal as he completed 90% of his passes and won five of his six ground duels. Maybe most impressive, though, is that Rice only lost possession eight times over the course of a very rugged match.
