Arsenal beat Atlético Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League semi-final second leg at Emirates Stadium—securing a 2-1 aggregate win—with Bukayo Saka scoring the only goal. The Spanish side, needing to overturn the first-leg 1-1 draw, dominated at times but lacked clinical finishing. Mikel Arteta guides the Gunners to their second-ever final in Budapest.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has condemned the refereeing in his club's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid as a 'disgrace' and 'intolerable'. The club plans to file another complaint with UEFA after their initial protest was rejected. Laporta highlighted several disputed decisions across both legs of the tie.

Atlético de Madrid qualified for the Champions League semifinals by holding their 2-0 first-leg lead against FC Barcelona in a tense return leg at the Metropolitano that ended 1-2. Lookman's goal leveled the tie after early strikes from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, and Eric García's red card sealed Barça's defeat. The rojiblancos await opponents like Arsenal or Sporting Lisbon.
