Arsenal's reign as European champions came to an abrupt end with a 2-1 defeat to OL Lyonnes in the Champions League semi-finals. The match was defined by crucial moments, including Jule Brand's late goal, which was confirmed by VAR, and a penalty retake scored by Wendie Renard after Arsenal's goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar stepped off her line too early. Despite the disappointment, Arsenal's overall performance in the Women's Super League (WSL) remains strong, boasting the best defensive record this season, conceding an average of 0.67 goals per game. However, their vulnerabilities at set-pieces were evident, a recurring issue that has cost them in previous matches. Looking ahead, Arsenal must navigate a demanding schedule of seven games in 20 days, starting with a challenging trip to Brighton. While the defeat raises concerns about a potential trophyless season, Arsenal's squad is expected to strengthen with potential signings, keeping hopes alive for a successful future.
