Arsenal Reach Champions League Semis
A tense 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium was enough to see Arsenal progress to the final four, following their 1-0 win in the first leg.
While the performance was described by some critics as 'boring' and lacking in flair, Arteta praised his players' defensive discipline and resilience.
The Gunners' path to the final now goes through Madrid, with a potential showdown against Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich looming in the final.
This achievement marks Arsenal's first semi-final appearance in 20 years, fueling hopes of a historic double as they also contend for the Premier League title.
