Arsenal produce a stunning comeback to book place in Women’s Champions League semi-final against Lyon
Renee Slegers believed Arsenal could “create something magical” against Real Madrid and this will surely go down as one of the great nights in the history of the women’s side.
It certainly ranks as their best since they made Emirates Stadium their permanent home last summer and nights like this underlined why the club were right to make that move.
Trailing 2-0 after the first leg of this Women’s Champions League quarter-final, the Gunners faced an uphill battle to make the semi-final.
The task felt even harder when, after 45 minutes at the Emirates, Slegers’ side still trailed 2-0 on aggregate.
