Arsenal-Real Madrid: all eyes on a Women’s Champions League semi-final spot
Our team won the first leg 2-0, and now head to the Emirates Stadium tonight looking to book their place among the best four teams in Europe (9:00 pm CET).
Just one game now separates Real Madrid from clinching a place in the Women’s Champions League semi-finals for the first time in their history. Toril's team head to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tonight (9:00 pm CET) as they look to capitalise on last week's 2-0 win at the Alfredo Di Stéfano to put their name among the top four clubs in Europe.
It's far from an easy task, but our team will be boosted by their impressive recent run of form. Following victory over the English side in the first leg, the madridistas came out on top in this Sunday's Clásico with Barcelona at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium (1-3).
The opposition
Arsenal have won all of their four home in this season's Champions League, hitting 12 goals and conceding just three. What's more, they've lost only one of nine home games in the League so far, and currently sit second in the table. Forward Alessia Russo is their leading goalscorer with 15 to her name (10 in the League and 5 in the Champions League).
