Arsenal Women F.C.

[Sulosky]

Well said but it’s just so annoying when rival fans banter our European record

I don't care what they say. They're wa*kers.

Barcelona wiped the floor with Chelsea but I believe in some outside chance we suit Barcelona better and could surprise them.

Didnt think we had it in us away against Lyon but answering earlier result like that gives you hope we can upset in the final!

 

[Arson Finger]

Down 2-1 after the home leg, to go their place and win 4-1, amazing!
You might call it a Champions League remontada...
if that wasn't something dopey entitled losers say.

Congratulations on the Arsenal Women reaching the Women's Champions League Final.
Don't know too much about the Women's game, I have heard before, that Lyon are a Top Side. To get past them in the Semi Final, and to win like they did in the 2nd Leg away from home, was a Fantastic achievement.
Hope the Mens First Team can reach their Champions League Final.
I have sometimes watched my local team, Gloucester City AFC Women's team. Recently they had a player who joined Bristol City. Last year, she signed for Manchester City.

So maybe the fate will decide Arsenal men and Arsenal women win CL in same season?

Some result yesterday not only beaten Lyon but destroyed them.

 

[AberGooner]

A memorable win for them, will try and watch the highlights later on. Turnaround with the new manager has been incredible.

What are our chances to beat Barca in the final?

What are our chances to beat Barca in the final?

Not high as they are a level above everyone, but both second legs of QF & SF Sleegers has got it tactically spot on and applied pressure to the opposition weak spots. That said, Barca beat Chelsea (who are about to win the league for the 6th year in a row) 8-2 on aggregate, and in Bonmati have the best player inthe world

What are our chances to beat Barca in the final?

Barca will be heavy favourites. They don't lose many games, about 2 in 2 years. I don't know much about the quality of the opposition they play week in week out, but they did batter Chelsea. However it's a final and the odds were against us going away to Lyon, so anything can happen.

It would be a massive shock to the football world if we won it. But I'm not writing us off.

It's absurd how similar it is.

Men were in the final 2005/2006, Women in the final 2006/2007.

Both Face Real Madrid in the Quarters, then a French Team in the semis and probably Barca in the final?

this is crazy stats its like we just repeat what arsenal women did at ucl

 

[Andrew Cole Linighan]

Love this reaction. Great way to capture the moment.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Arsenal winning both of the CLs in the same year is going to ruin lives. I can't wait.

If I'm not mistaken, this has never been done before by any club?

 

[Batman]

If I'm not mistaken, this has never been done before by any club?

It hasn't. We're the only English club to have ever won the women's tournament.

With the exception of Barcelona and Lyon who have won nearly half of the women's CLs played between them, most of the other male counterparts to the teams who have won don't even play regular CL football. They're Europa league level or lower.

It's like both the Men's and Women's Teams, have both Won the FA Cup, 14 times.

Not wanting to derail the Arsenal Women Section too much. Arsenal were the first Club to do the FA Cup, and League Cup Double. 1993.

Villa currently leading 3:0 against us lol

Rotated squad in the first half and were 2:0 behind. Made subs in the half and instantly conceded the 3rd due to a McCabe Error

 

[carter777]

4-1 down at Brighton

 

[NieThePiet]

9 goals conceded in 2 games after the Lyon win, both with Zinsberger in goal.

Could have secured 2nd place with a win today - so the last game is at the Emirates vs United. If we lose, United will finish 2nd.

They have announced one department every hour in the last 3 hours. Lets see how many will follow.
