Mikel Arteta has led Arsenal to their first Champions League final since 2006

It might seem odd to suggest an English club reaching a Champions League final have been in danger of going under the radar - but that has almost been the case for Arsenal this year.

Such has been the immense pressure piled upon Mikel Arteta's side to end their 22-wait for a Premier League title, their remarkable unbeaten run to the European showpiece in Budapest has arguably not got the credit it deserves.

Bukayo Saka's first-half tap-in gave the Gunners a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in Tuesday's semi-final second leg, securing a 2-1 aggregate victory.

In truth, while their display at Emirates Stadium was not necessarily vintage, some of Arsenal's best performances of the season have come in Europe.
