Two seasons back they weren’t even in the Champions League, having finished in the first knockout round last season, but now Arsenal players can rejoice with a fantastic run to the final four.
In the first match of the quarter-final double-header, they fell short to Bayern Munich and fell to one goal conceded in Germany. However, in the home rematch, the Gunners made amends and showed a great turnaround.
Especially the goal that tied the match at 1:1 was really worth it. It shows that the level of women’s football is going up rapidly and the more it is promoted, the better it will be.
However, the aforementioned goal was scored by the twenty-three-year-old Norwegian midfielder Frida Leonhardsen Maanum, who finished off a wonderful combination with an uncatchable shot from outside the box. A beautiful moment of football.
The goal came in the 20th minute. Six minutes later, Swedish striker Stina Blackstenius completed the turnaround. No more goals in the double header and Arsenal are through to the semi-finals.
But beware. They will face Wolfsburg, a team with a big name in women’s football. After all, last season it was the German club that eliminated Arsenal’s players in the first round of the Champions League play-offs.
However, the London club’s players are still in the game in the women’s English league, as they are in fourth position, but only three points behind the first Manchester United and have a game to play.
