Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate to make it to the Champions League final.
The Gunners, in a typically solid defensive performance, held Atletico at bay impressively all night long and created just enough to get the win, with Saka pouncing just before the break.
Arsenal were fast out of the blocks with the tie level, and were comfortably on top in the first half, getting their just rewards in the 44th minute.
An excellent pass down Atletico's inside left channel found striker Viktor Gyokeres who floated a cross to the back post which found Leandro Trossard, who got a shot away that could only be parried by Jan Oblak straight into the patch of Saka who swept home.
The Spanish side managed just two shots in the first 45, and things didn't get much better for Diego Simeone's side in the second half.
Despite ringing changes early in the second period, Atletico couldn't get anything going and were limited to low-probability chances.
They did have a big penalty shout that wasn't given in favour of a foul for Arsenal a second earlier, but Atletico were kept at arms length throughout.
Mikel Arteta's side now head to Budapest for their first Champions League final since 2006 where they will face either Bayern Munich or PSG.
