Arsenal have qualified for the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Atlético de Madrid in the semifinal second leg.
The win sends the Gunners back to European football's showpiece event, a stage they last graced in 2006. That year, under manager Arsène Wenger, they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to FC Barcelona in Paris.
Former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who played in that 2006 final, expressed his admiration for the current team's performance. Speaking after the match, Henry reflected on the significance of the achievement and recalled his own painful memory of falling at the final hurdle two decades ago.
The result marks a monumental step for the club, ending a long wait for a return to the pinnacle of European club football. Arsenal will now await the winner of the other semifinal to discover their opponent in the final.
