"Arteta" aims to make new history as Arsenal reach the UCL final, something no one has done before.
On 6 May 2026, interesting statistics about Arsenal emerged after their 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg, where they narrowly defeated Atlético Madrid 1-0 at home, winning 2-1 on aggregate to reach this tournament’s final for the first time in 20 years.
Last night's victory marked Arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta's 41st win across all competitions this season, from a total of 59 games played (11 draws, 7 losses), matching the club's highest single-season win record.
The previous record was set in the 1970-71 season when Arsenal, managed by Englishman Bertie, also won 41 matches and secured two trophies: the old Division 1 title (now the Premier League) and the FA Cup.
If Mikel Arteta can lead Arsenal to win both major trophies they are chasing this season, he will become the first manager in the club’s history to claim both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles while also achieving the most wins in a single season.
Premier League - With three games remaining, Arsenal lead the table by 5 points over Manchester City but have played one more match.
UEFA Champions League - Having reached the final, Arsenal will face the winner of Bayern Munich vs PSG on 30 May.
