The official UEFA Champions League X account has celebrated Arsenal’s remarkable run to the 2026 final, confirming they remain unbeaten across 14 matches while conceding just six goals and keeping nine clean sheets, Softfootball reports.
The achievement follows Arsenal’s 1–0 victory over Atlético Madrid in the semi-final second leg, sealing a 2–1 aggregate win and booking their place at Puskás Aréna in Budapest. It marks their first Champions League final appearance in 20 years.
A graphic shared by UEFA detailed Arsenal’s journey through both the league phase and knockout rounds, including major wins over top European sides such as FC Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid.
UEFA posted:
Arsenal go to Budapest undefeated.
Midfielder Declan Rice was named Player of the Match for the decisive second leg. UEFA’s post included a video of Rice celebrating on the pitch with the award, highlighting his influence through midfield control, passing, and tactical discipline.

However, the decision sparked debate among fans, with some arguing that Bukayo Saka or Viktor Gyökeres delivered more decisive performances. Despite differing opinions, Rice’s contribution was widely acknowledged as key to Arsenal’s progression.
Attention now turns to the final on May 30, where Arsenal will face the winner of the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. PSG currently hold a narrow advantage after a dramatic 5–4 first-leg victory in one of the highest-scoring semi-finals in competition history.
With an unbeaten run still intact, discussions are growing around the possibility of Arsenal completing a historic European campaign, drawing comparisons to their famous 2004 “Invincibles” season.
