The short version

All the talk has been about Arsenal's Premier League title challenge – but is this now the Gunners' time to conquer Europe?

Mikel Arteta has led Arsenal to their first Champions League final since 2006

It might seem odd to suggest an English club reaching a Champions League final have been in danger of going under the radar – but that has almost been the case for Arsenal this year

What happened

  • Mikel Arteta has guided Arsenal to their first Champions League final in 17 years
  • Despite reaching the final, Arsenal's European success has been somewhat unnoticed due to the focus on their Premier League title pursuit
  • A 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the semi-final's second leg solidified their place in the final with a 2-1 aggregate win
  • Bukayo Saka's performance, including his crucial goal against Atletico, helped propel Arsenal forward

Why this matters

  • This is a chance for Arsenal to end a long drought without European success
  • Reaching the final elevates the club's prestige and could impact player recruitment
  • Winning could change the narrative around Arsenal and Mikel Arteta's tenure
