Arsenal: Alessia Russo reveals what ‘VAR ruined’ in comeback win as belief over Champions League success grows
The Gunners will face Lyon in the Women’s Champions League semi-finals next month, meaning a reunion with Joe Montemurro
Alessia Russo believes Arsenal can go all the way in the Women’s Champions League after their thrilling comeback against Real Madrid.
The Gunners booked a place in the semi-finals despite losing the first leg of their quarter-final 2-0 last week.
Arsenal were 3-0 winners on Wednesday night in the second leg at Emirates Stadium after scoring three goals in the first 14 minutes of the second half.
Russo struck twice – and was denied a hat-trick on two occasions because of the offside flag – while Mariona Caldentey was also on the scoresheet.
