Arsenal, on Tuesday, created records after beating Atletico Madrid to qualify for the UEFA Champions League final.

Bukayo Saka’s only goal ensured the Gunners defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the semi-final second leg encounter.

However, according to OptaJoe, the win over the LaLiga giants means Arsenal have reached the Champions League final for the first time since 2006, the longest period between European Cup/Champions League finals by a team in the competition since Atletico Madrid in 2014 (40 years), and the longest by an English side since Liverpool in 2005 (also 20).

Also, the Premier League North London club is now the only team to remain unbeaten through their first 14 matches of a single edition of the Champions League.

Arsenal also equalled their club record for most wins in a single season (41 across all competitions), previously winning 41 in the 1970-71 campaign.

Mikel Arteta’s side will now face Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in the final.
