Arsenal Women’s Champions League: What’s Happening Right Now?
If you’re a Gunners fan, the Champions League is the biggest stage for the women’s side and you’ll want every update straight away. This page brings you the latest news, match previews, key player info and practical tips on how to follow the action.
Where Arsenal Women Stand in the Competition
Arsenal entered the group stage as one of England’s top clubs, boasting a mix of seasoned internationals and hungry youngsters. So far they’ve picked up six points from four games, with a solid win over a German side and a narrow loss to a French powerhouse. The team’s defensive shape looks tighter than last season, thanks to the partnership of goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger and centre‑back Vivianne Miedema’s newly‑added defensive duties.
Off the bench, young midfielder Katie McCabe has become the go‑to spark plug, delivering quick passes that break down tight defenses. If Arsenal can keep that momentum, they’re likely to finish top of the group and secure a home quarter‑final.
Key Players to Watch
Vivianne Miedema – The Dutch striker still leads the scoring charts. She’s not just a finisher; her movement creates space for teammates, making Arsenal’s attack harder to predict.
Kelsey James – The English midfielder controls the tempo. Her passing range and ability to win duels in midfield give the team balance, especially when the back line is under pressure.
Lea Schüller – The German forward adds depth up front. Her aerial threat is a bonus during set‑pieces, and she’s already tallied a few crucial goals.
Keep an eye on these three; they’ll likely decide whether Arsenal advances to the knockout stage.
