What's happening with Atletico Madrid
teams.ie Editorial TeamDeclan Rice and Arsenal are heading to the Champions League final after Bukayo Saka's decisive goal secured a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in their semi-final second leg, sending the Gunners through on aggregate and ending a 20-year wait for a European cup final. Rice faced scrutiny from UEFA following his post-match comments after the first leg draw, though manager Mikel Arteta defended his side's celebrations as the club targets continental glory. Atletico, who had impressed earlier in the competition by overcoming Barcelona in the quarter-finals, couldn't quite get the breakthrough they needed against an Arsenal side that managed injuries to key players like Havertz and Timber while keeping Eze and Calafiori fit for the crucial tie.
