Just before halftime, the hosts broke the impasse. After Jan Oblak stopped Trossard’s first attempt, Bukayo Saka scored from close range.

After going by David Raya, Simeone appeared to be on the verge of scoring, but Gabriel made a last-ditch effort to stop the threat. After Gabriel’s challenge, Arsenal prevailed in a tense VAR check.

After Piero Hincapie’s low cross into the box, Viktor Gyokeres wasted a fantastic opportunity to double Arsenal’s advantage by volleying over the bar from close range.

For the first time in 20 years, the Gunners easily won the remainder of the match and advanced to the Champions League final.
