Arsenal star Bukayo Saka spoke after leading his team to qualify for the UEFA Champions League final, following a 1-0 win in the second leg against Atletico Madrid, noting that the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw.

Saka said: "You're taking me away from the celebrations! It's so beautiful, you can see what this means to us and what it means to the fans."

He added: "We are very happy, it's easy to say that now, but the match was under a lot of pressure, and it meant a lot to both sides. We handled it well and succeeded in reaching the final. The atmosphere started as soon as we arrived by bus, I've never seen anything like it before."

He continued: "Sometimes things go your way and sometimes they don't, but you have to be present, and I was present and scored my goal."

Regarding the pressure and criticism, he said: "You can't reach this level without pressure, how can you not expect people to talk about you and criticize you? That's why we have to ignore it and stay focused."

He concluded by saying: "It's a beautiful story, and I hope it ends happily in Budapest (the location of the final)."
