Renee Slegers celebrated a historic moment for Arsenal Women after they achieved a stunning 4-1 win over Lyon, clinching a 5-3 aggregate victory in the Women's Champions League semifinals. The Gunners will now face defending champions Barcelona in the final, aiming to capture the title for the second time since their last victory in 2007. Arsenal's impressive performance included an own goal from Lyon's goalkeeper and stellar contributions from players such as Alessia Russo and Caitlin Foord. Slegers emphasized the importance of staying humble and preparing for the next challenge against a formidable opponent.
"We were unbelievable in a high-pressure moment against a top opponent," said Slegers, as quoted by BBC Sport. "How calm we were - there's so much work put into this game, I'm so happy."
"Delighted for everyone. It's euphoria, such a special moment. So happy and we need to celebrate these special moments but also stay humble and we get ready for the next one."
"It's going to be a huge challenge against Barcelona, who have been dominant in recent finals and are always tough competitors on the international stage."
