The girls saved the club after the Champions League victory with Arsenal
Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright stated that the women’s team saved the North London club after defeating reigning champions Barcelona 1-0 on Saturday to claim their second Champions League title following 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 securing their third consecutive European title.
Arsenal weathered a storm of dangerous moments from Barcelona before forward Stina Blackstenius scored the winning goal in the 75th minute, delighting 5,000 fans at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.
Following this, Wright remarked that the girls saved the club. “We have something to celebrate,” he added. “They beat Barcelona in the Champions League; no one gave them a chance. Even I said it would be tough because, on average, they score four goals per game.”
Barcelona were playing in their sixth final in seven years with a team widely regarded as the best in the world, featuring Ballon d’Or winners Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí, two of the most influential midfielders in women’s football.
