Arsenal stunned Lyon to reach their first Women’s Champions League final since 2007, as Renée Slegers’s side produced a mature display full of desire, resilience and attacking brilliance to secure an impressive comeback in France. They beat the last season’s runners-up 4-1 thanks to an own goal from Christiane Endler and strikes from Mariona Caldentey, Alessia Russo and Caitlin Foord.
The final in May will be the first of Slegers’s fledgling management career. The 36-year-old was delighted with her team’s success as they reached a European final at her first attempt.
