Summary
Arsenal Women’s side entered their semi-final against Lyon on cautious notes after losing 2-1 in the first leg, but coach Renée Slegers emphasized their belief in turning it around. Despite Lyon’s superior skills and experience, including a record eight Champions League titles, Arsenal held their own with key stats showing they created more opportunities and possession than their opponents. Goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar and center-back Lotte Wubben-Moy returned to training this week, with the latter signing a new contract, boosting their morale ahead of Sunday’s big game. Slegers expressed optimism about their ability to adapt and perform well against a strong opponent.
