Arsenal Smash Three Records as They End 20-Year Final Drought

Arsenal secured their place in the 2025–26 Champions League final with a 2–1 aggregate win over Ademola Lookman’s Atletico Madrid. It’s the Gunners’ first trip to Europe’s showpiece in two decades. Three remarkable records came with this victory: 1. Arsenal matched their own most wins in a single season with 41 victories across all competitions, equalling the mark set in 1970–71. 2. They set a new Champions League milestone by going unbeaten in their first 14 matches—a feat no other side has managed over 14+ games in one campaign. 3. Having played 225 European fixtures without ever lifting the trophy, Arsenal now hold the record for most appearances without a win—and can erase that stat in the final. These achievements underline Mikel Arteta’s consistent, record-breaking run and raise the stakes for the club’s first continental triumph since 2006.
