The Gunners defeated Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals on Tuesday night to qualify for the final, scheduled to be played in Budapest on May 30th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the match at the Emirates, which proved to be enough for Arsenal to secure a 2-1 aggregate win against Atletico. Arsenal will have their eyes set on the final later this month, where either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich will stand in their way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The second leg of the remaining semi-final sees Bayern host PSG at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, with the visitors holding a 5-4 advantage heading into a draw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Arsenal&#8217;s decisive goal came in the 44th minute, just before the interval. It was moments after the final whistle that Sneijder was left furious at the display from both teams in north London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The former Inter Milan stalwart and Dutch international went further by suggesting that the second leg between PSG and Bayern Munich deserves to be considered a genuine Champions League final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!
