Arsenal hold firm against Barcelona for Women's Champions League draw
Arsenal secured a gritty draw away at Barcelona in the Women's Champions League, boosting their chances of reaching the knockout stages.
Arsenal produced a determined defensive display to earn a point against Barcelona at Camp Nou on Thursday night. Despite dominating possession and registering numerous shots, the home side could only manage an equalizer through Caroline Graham Hansen after Frida Maanum had opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half. The result ends Barcelona's 100% record in the current Women's Champions League campaign and provides a significant morale boost for Renee Slegers' side. Arsenal now have seven points from their opening four matches as they turn their focus toward an upcoming fixture against Lyon in London.
