Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid advanced to the Europe League final 2-1 on aggregate after a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday.

Diego Simeone's side booked their first final in the competition since winning it in 2012 while also denying Arsene Wenger his last chance to lift a European trophy as manager of Arsenal, where he's set to leave after 22 years at season's end.

Simeone, serving a touchline ban after being sent off in the Emirates first leg, watched from a stadium suite as his men rode a goal from Diego Costa to their fourth continental final under his watch.
