Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are on the brink of a historic campaign after yet another impressive win in this competition.
So much of the focus this season has been on their attempt to end a 22-year wait for a league title that their superb unbeaten run in Europe feels like it has gone under the radar.
The Gunners, who finished top of the Champions League league phase, have beaten Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Sporting and Atletico (twice) on their route to the final.
Arsenal produced one of their best performances of the season in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Fulham and Arteta kept that in mind with an unchanged team for this match.
The Gunners boss made the bold call to continue with 19-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield in what was just his second start in the position for the senior team.
Lewis-Skelly took the ball in tight areas and kept the ball ticking over in Arsenal's midfield, partnered by the excellent Declan Rice.
It was a night of superb performances from Arsenal's players with Ben White, who has had some difficult moments in recent weeks as he regains full fitness, back to his dominant best.
The same can be said of Viktor Gyokeres who played a massive part in Saka's goal – and the forward occupied the Atletico centre-backs and ran the channels while providing a huge threat all evening.
The win leaves Arsenal just four matches away from an unprecedented league and European double.
