Didn't have a lot to do but was safe and commanding with crosses and with the ball at his feet

His best game for ages, gave Lookman nothing and whichever cunt they brought on to replace him got nothing too. You love to see it from Benny White

There was one miscued header which led to an early second half chance, but Gabriel did just enough to bail him out. Otherwise, Atleti's forwards offered little all game. Led the team with 9 clearances.

A monster performance from him, used all his power and experience to frustrate Atletico's attack

Some lovely attacking thrusts in the first half, ran his heart out before running out of gas and being taken off

Nobody made more tackles, and I'd wager nobody covered more ground. Titanic performance, including one massive block in the first half

It was a brave decision to play him in such a big game, and it was rewarded with another assured performance in midfield

Never quite got the moment to pull the trigger in the areas you know he can hurt the opposition, but helped us control that first half really well

He's such a smart player and looks to have found some form at exactly the right time – his quick feet and shot led to the Saka goal that sent us to Budapest

Scored the winner in a Champions League semi-final, the Star man stepped up when we needed him and delivered that moment we needed

Involved in the goal, strong and difficult to play against all night, although he did miss a great chance to make it 2-0, but let's not worry about that tonight. He's saving his goal for the final.

Every time I watch him, I wonder does he get no instructions or does he just do stuff so off the cuff? Frustrating.

Solid defensively, and made the big chance for Gyokeres with a superb ball into the box

On for MLS, got stuck in but a bit untidy on the ball – but to be fair, it was a period of the game where we didn't exactly keep it

10/10 - Getting to the Champions League final and annoying the miserable wankers on TV who expect Arsenal to play an ideal of the game they'd immediately call naive if we did it, and which so few of them were ever capable of when they played anyway. Shut up, wankers.
