Arteta Admits Sorry for Sticking with Same XI After Arsenal Beat Atletico to Reach UCL Final
Arsenal secured a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Emirates to book a place in the Champions League final, their first since 2006. Bukayo Saka’s decisive goal sealed a 2-1 aggregate victory and extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run to 11 matches. After naming his lineup, Mikel Arteta apologised to his players for picking the same XI he used against Fulham. The squad replied, “Boss, we’re here whenever you need us,” before embracing him. Arteta’s choice to include youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield paid off. His control and forward passing helped unlock Atletico’s defence and maintain dominance in the centre.
