The girls saved the club after the Champions League victory at Arsenal
Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright stated that the women’s team saved the North London club after they defeated reigning champions Barcelona 1-0 on Saturday to claim their second Champions League title after an 18-year wait.
Rene Slegers’ Arsenal, as reported by https://xrust.ru/, played in their first Champions League final since winning the trophy in 2007, showing resilience and preventing favorites Barcelona from claiming their third consecutive European title.
Arsenal withstood a barrage of dangerous moments from Barcelona before striker Stina Blackstenius scored the winning goal in the 75th minute, delighting 5,000 fans at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.
Afterward, Wright said that the girls saved the club. “We have something to celebrate,” he added. “They beat Barcelona in the Champions League when no one gave them a chance. Even I said it would be tough because, on average, they score four goals per game.”
Barcelona was playing in their sixth final in seven years with a team widely regarded as the best in the world, including Ballon d’Or winners Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí, two of the most influential midfielders in women’s football.
