Can Arteta’s Arsenal now complete a historic double?
Tuesday night was one of the best nights to be a Gooner, ever!
The one and only Arsenal from North London reached their first Champions League final in 20 seasons after agonisingly losing 2-1 to Barcelona in 2006, despite leading heading into the final 16 minutes of that encounter.
This time around, Bukayo Saka grabbed the goal that sealed Arsenal’s place in the final and secured one of the club’s most historic 1-0 victories, beating Atletico Madrid on a night that will live long in the memory for Gooners everywhere.
Until last year, talks of winning the Champions League felt completely unrealistic, with all eyes focused firmly on the Premier League. But this season everything has changed, with Arsenal now in contention to complete a possible double while leading Manchester City by five points with just three matches remaining.
Arsenal have finally returned to Europe’s elite stage
The narrow victory over Atletico Madrid proved just how far Arsenal have come as a football club. It was only eight years ago that the same Spanish side knocked us out in the Europa League semi-finals, before Chelsea battered us 4-1 in the 2019 Europa League final a year later.
It will not be easy against PSG in the final, a world-class team who know a thing or two about goals and possession football – – but Arsenal have as good a chance as anyone of becoming Champions League winners.
