Bukayo Saka has 18 goal contributions across all competitions this season.
Arsenal are now going to host Atletico Madrid for their second-leg semifinal contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This is going to be an intense encounter between these clubs, taking place at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners will be looking to use the home game as an advantage. Although it is not going to be an easy contest for them, they will be eager to give their all here.
The North London club still have a chance to win two major trophies this season, and they cannot afford to lose. Arsenal won their last Premier League title in the 2003-04 season and are yet to win the UEFA Champions League.
The first leg between the Gunners and Atletico Madrid ended in a 1-1 draw. Both of them have a chance to get a win here. The team making fewer mistakes could end up securing a spot in the Champions League final.
Mikel Arteta has some great options in the attacking front. With the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Noni Madueke, they should not have a problem with the depth of the squad at the moment.

Will Bukayo Saka play tonight against Atleti?
Bukayo Saka is fully fit. He was also a part of Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Fulham in the Premier League. He was one of the goal scorers for his club and led his side to an easy league win.
The English winger is more than likely to start for the Gunners in their upcoming UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid. He will be the first choice for Mikel Arteta because of his capabilities and skill set.
Viktor Gyokeres has also performed well in the last two games for Arsenal. His linkup with Bukayo Saka should cause serious issues for Diego Simeone’s men.
