Semis vs Lyon and Ex-Coach Montemurro!

They absolutely trashed Bayern over two legs, but still better than facing Barca.

Top top!

While the eyes will b on Russo, Chloe Kelly was the star, nice return to the Club, hope its permanent.

Just got caught up on the highlights (couldn't watch live unfortunately). Can someone explain to me why Russo's goal in the 88th minute was called offside? It looked clearly on to me when I was watching the replays shown.

She deserved that hat trick man, I had the same reaction. Chloe Kelly and Caldentey were phenomenal as well.

Lyon next up gonna be a whole new level...

Think it was very close, think her shoulder could be offside for example. The hand from the Real defender doesnt count, so it was probably who of both was leaning more forward.

The first decision was offside on the pitch and they are using semi-automatic lines, so the decisions are pretty quick overall. Normally the official picture is shown some minutes later after that. But because it was in the 88th minute and the extra time was full of action, we havent seen the picture during the game.

Hopefully there still will be a way to find the picture somewhere.



Tim's reponse on Bluesky.

Well hopefully our women get CL. So our rivals won't keep saying yOu nEvEr wOn tHe CL.

The funny thing yesterday our women 4th goal was not offside we can't escape real Madrid even in women football. Guess there no VAR?

The women already won a UWCL mate, they even won the quadruple in 2006/2007.

Second part: Just read the last post. She was close offside. It was confirmed by Stillman who is pretty close to the team and saw the picture after the game. And there is VAR for the knockout games: The first Russo offside goal was first given and then they have shown, that Manuum was offside before who made the assist.

We trounced them 4-0.
Mead with a pair, Russo had one, and we also got an OG.
We were up 2-0 before the half hour mark, and finished them off.
We had 17 shots to their 5, 7 of ours on target, 0 for them, and we had 74% possession.
Chelsea dropped points at home, blowing a 2-goal lead and drawing 2-2 with West Ham on a stoppage time equalizer.
Too bad there's not more games left, we are 6 points behind them but only 4 matches left.

Sadly without Daphne, but looks like Russo and Kelly are fit to play.

Do you guys know where it's possible to watch the game today?

 

[Gooner Zig]

For the folks who watch the Women's team regularly - do we have a chance against Lyon? I know they're footballing royalty in the women's game.

They aren't on the same peak anymore like in their best era. But looks like the are much better again under Montemurro (our former coach, who won the last title with us).

But Lyon absolutely trashed Bayern in the last round, so probably they are favourites.

Thankfully former Gunner Van De Donk missed an absolute sitter

 

[Gooner Zig]

Damn Lyon are ruthless on the counter

 

[NieThePiet]

Fox sadly plays her on. Lyon has so much pace up front.
