Diego Simeone memuji "kekuatan luar biasa" Arsenal setelah timnya, Atlético Madrid, tersingkir dari Liga Champions di babak semifinal. Meskipun terjadi insiden penalti yang kontroversial yang melibatkan Antoine Griezmann, pelatih asal Argentina itu menolak menyalahkan wasit atas kekalahan tipis timnya pada leg kedua di Emirates.
Pada menit ke-44 pertandingan Bundesliga antara Bayern Munich dan St. Pauli pada 29 November, Luis Diaz terjatuh di dalam kotak penalti. Namun, meski sang sayap kehilangan keseimbangan, ia tidak kehilangan kendali atas bola—dan entah bagaimana berhasil mengangkat bola dari lantai dan mengarahkannya ke jalur Joshua Kimmich untuk mencetak gol. Itu adalah aksi keterampilan yang luar biasa - namun manajer Bayern, Vincent Kompany, sama sekali tidak terkejut dengan hal itu.
Arsenal berhasil melaju ke final Liga Champions setelah mengalahkan Atlético Madrid 1-0 di Emirates pada Selasa. Pertandingan itu tidak berjalan mulus—hal itu memang jarang terjadi saat Arsenal terlibat. Pasukan Mikel Arteta memang terkenal dengan kemenangan-kemenangan yang tidak indah. Namun, tak dapat disangkal ada keindahan tersendiri saat Bukayo Saka mencetak gol yang menentukan hasil akhir 2-1 untuk keunggulan The Gunners dalam laga yang membosankan itu.
Bukayo Saka tak bisa menyembunyikan kegembiraannya setelah membawa Arsenal ke final Liga Champions berkat kemenangan 1-0 yang diraih dengan susah payah (agregat 2-1) atas Atlético Madrid. Pemain timnas Inggris itu memanfaatkan kesalahan langka yang dilakukan Jan Oblak untuk mencetak satu-satunya gol dalam pertandingan tersebut, yang memicu euforia meriah di Stadion Emirates.
