The first spot in the 2025/26 Champions League final will be filled tonight, and with Arsenal and Atletico Madrid heading into their second leg all square after a 1-1 draw in the Spanish capital, it's all to play for in London.

18:32 CET - Having seen Premier League title rivals Man City drop costly points at Everton on Monday, Arsenal will be more determined than ever to make May 2026 a truly historic month in the club's history. 

The Gunners last reached the Champions League final in 2006, but two decades of hurt in the competition could well be forgotten this evening at the Emirates, where Arsenal have lost just one of their last 24 European matches (W17, D6).

Mikel Arteta's men remain unbeaten in this season's competition (W10, D3), and with Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres looking in fine form during Saturday's 3-0 dismantling of Fulham, the omens are certainly looking bright for the North London side.
