In a cruel twist of fate, Arsenal’s Champions League dreams came to an abrupt end when Wolfsburg’s Pauline Bremer slotted the ball home in the dying minutes of extra time.
Going head-to-head right until the death of the game showed immense character and grit from the Gunners. Stina Blackstenius put the home side 1-0 up early doors but had to fight to get back into the game when Jill Roord and Alexandra Popp took the 2-1 lead for Wolfsburg at the hour mark. Jen Beattie’s header made it equal once more until Bremer’s late winner caused Arsenal heartbreak at the Emirates.
Jonas Eidevall said: “It's tough, no doubt about it. I think we’re allowed to hurt tonight, we’re allowed to feel empty but we’re also allowed to feel proud of the performance and for location and supporters. There are a lot of emotions right now.
