Bukayo Saka scored a dramatic winner on the stroke of half-time to send Arsenal into their first Champions League final in 20 years. The England international's goal sealed a 2-1 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, sparking jubilant scenes in north London.

Saka was pressed on CBS Sports about whether Arsenal would prefer to face Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in the Budapest final on May 30. He responded with a knowing smile: "You know deep down who we'd want to face in the final." The Gunners have recent history with both opponents - they beat Bayern 3-1 at home in the group stage this season, though the German side eliminated them at the quarter-finals two years ago. PSG dumped Arsenal out of the semi-finals last season before lifting the trophy.

Mikel Arteta's side arrive at the final as the competition's sole unbeaten team this term, with 11 wins and three draws across 14 matches - a new club record in the Champions League. With the Premier League title also in their hands, Arsenal are now just four matches away from completing a momentous double in what could become the greatest season in the club's 140-year history.
