Mikel Arteta reveals how Arsenal celebrated Champions League victory over Real Madrid... as Gunners boss insists he wants to 'delay' Liverpool winning the title

Mikel Arteta has revealed how Arsenal celebrated their Champions League win over Real Madrid.

After a Declan Rice-inspired 3-0 win at the Emirates, the Gunners traveled to the Spanish capital knowing they already had done foot in the semi-finals for the first time since 2009.

After a dramatic first-half - with Bukayo Saka missing a penalty and a spot-kick for the hosts scrubbed off by VAR - the two sides were inseparable by the break.

However Saka soon atoned for his earlier mistake with a fantastic opener, Vinicius Junior quickly pegging the Gunners back, before a 92nd-minute winner from Gabriel Martinelli made it 5-1 on aggregate to Arsenal.
