You must have seen the goal by now. You must have. If not, go and find it, and drink in its four seconds of angular magnificence. It’s the goal that changed everything for Arsenal, on the night they truly made the Emirates their home in the Women’s Champions League. It may even be the moment where they begin to look towards a permanent future here.
Arsenal have been through so many nearly-moments in the Champions League, occasions where Jonas Eidevall’s side didn’t look up to this level or ready for this stage. This could have been another, but Arsenal have instead learned from their past and grown from the experience of falling short. Still, Arsenal were 10 years without a Champions League semi-final, while Bayern Munich arrived on the back of a 14-match win streak, and with a one-goal advantage.
