Mikel Arteta faces the media after his Arsenal side’s brilliant victory in the UEFA Champions League semi-final to send them to Budapest. They will take on one of Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
Bukayo Saka, the captain on the night from the start, managed to get the Gunners in front right before half-time. This, despite frustrations, Leandro Trossard hadn’t won a penalty after being brought down by Antoine Griezmann.
Saka had to be replaced in the second half, walking off gingerly, and that will perhaps be a question faced by the Spaniard on his status. Myles Lewis-Skelly looked also like something of a player suffering with some issues when he was replaced to a standing ovation.
The rest of the game was a war of attrition as the Gunners had to build on their lead and could have won it through Viktor Gyokeres. But instead a theme of the season, the clean sheet, was their friend and has made history.
