Interim head coach Renée Slegers was very proud of her team after the 0-4 win over Juventus. Slegers gave credit to her whole team, from the goal scorers to the goalkeeper: “We have four different goal scorers and the players up top are performing really well, but I don’t want to take out the goalkeeper, our back four and our two sixes as well. We sometimes forget to highlight because the players up top are scoring the goals, but I think the goalkeepers and the back four – they have been doing really well now over time. I think the spaces Wally and Kim covered today in midfield – they’ve been brilliant. So I think the whole team today deserves credit, including the game-changers coming on tonight,” she said.
Can Arsenal go through to the quarter-finals if they beat Juventus? Yes, but only if Vålerenga do not beat Bayern Munich.
What the coach has to say
Arsenal is unbeaten for six games in a row. The North London Derby in the WSL weekend was won by 0-3. This time Russo, Maanum and Blackstenius got on the scoresheet. Slegers said during her pre-match conference that it probably is going to be a different game: “We just have to stay in the moment and see what we have ahead of us. We analyzed the away game against Juventus, and it’s gonna be a new challenge tomorrow. They’re gonna tweak things and do things differently, and we might want to do that as well – so it’s definitely a different game.”

Massimiliabo Canzi and his team had a rough week. The match against Sassuolo was a must win: “Mistakes happen, and today we paid dearly for them; I am disappointed with our bad first half, which was far from a great team performance; we cannot allow ourselves to lose concentration for part of the game. I am disappointed by parts of the second half as well, we had a lot of shots, but did not hit the target enough: we must put our heads down and concentrate only on the current game. Today definitely shows that easy games don’t exist and that nothing is taken for granted,” he said.
What the coach has to say
We expect Massimiliabo Canzi to give a press conference and squad update later today.
