How Captain Saka’s Last-Minute Magic Sealed Arsenal’s Stunning Champions League Triumph Over Atletico Madrid
Like last week’s clash in Madrid, this was another attritional encounter, with each team managing only two attempts on target.
Saka made his chance count. He has been involved in 14 Champions League goals in as many appearances at the Emirates, scoring nine times and providing five assists. The winger is the first Arsenal player to score in two different semi-finals in the competition (also v PSG last season).
The Gunners fell short on that occasion, but despite tempers boiling over on the touchline as full-time approached and rain poured down, it was Arteta’s men who did for Diego Simeone’s dogs of war, who were limited to chances worth only 0.5 expected goals.
