Arsenal Reach First Champions League Final in 20 Years After Atletico Win
Arsenal have secured their place in the Champions League final for the first time since 2006, but their celebrations have drawn mixed reactions.

Arsenal have reached the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years after their win over Atletico Madrid. The achievement marks a significant milestone for the club, which last appeared in Europe's premier club competition final two decades ago.

Watch the highlights:

However, the celebrations following Tuesday's victory have sparked debate. Some observers have questioned whether the team's reaction was appropriate, with comments suggesting the revelry may have been excessive given that the final itself is still to be played.

The Gunners' progress to the final represents a remarkable turnaround for a club that has not contested a major European final since their 2006 defeat to Barcelona in Paris. Manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping to guide Arsenal to their first Champions League trophy.

The north London side will now prepare for the final, where they will face either Inter Milan or Barcelona, depending on the outcome of the other semi-final tie.
