Jonas Eidevall believes it is a “realistic vision” for Arsenal to play permanently at the Emirates Stadium after they came from behind to beat Bayern Munich and reach the Women’s Champions League semi-finals.

Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich (2-1 agg)

The performance was fluid, controlled and blistering as Arsenal booked a place in the Women’s Champions League semi-final for the first time in 10 years with a 2-0 defeat of the Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

Arsenal turned in a superb display to beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in their Champions League quarter-final second leg to overturn a one-goal deficit and advance to the last four. The Gunners were dealt a blow when captain Kim Little was forced off after eight minutes, but Frida Maanum soon fired Arsenal ahead with an expertly executed 20-yard strike.

You must have seen the goal by now. You must have. If not, go and find it, and drink in its four seconds of angular magnificence. It’s the goal that changed everything for Arsenal, on the night they truly made the Emirates their home in the Women’s Champions League.

Jonas Eidevall has expressed full confidence Arsenal can overcome a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Bayern Munich and reach their first Women’s Champions League semi-final in 10 years.

Arsenal produced a battling performance at the Allianz Arena as they went down to a 1-0 defeat in their Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich. Lea Schuller's first-half header saw Bayern home, yet Arsenal will fancy their chances of turning the tie around in next week's return. They created a number of opportunities, being denied by goal-line clearances and the woodwork as Bayern ultimately did enough to record a 13th-successive victory in all competitions this season.

Jonas Eidevall said there were a lot of similarities between his Arsenal team and Bayern Munich but by the end of the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final there was one clear difference. While Lea Schuller took her chance with a thunderous back-post header, Arsenal missed a hat full of their opportunities, hit the post, had two cleared off the line and, after an entertaining back-and-forth contest at the Allianz Arena, it was advantage Bayern.

A tremendous header from Lea Schuller was enough to give Bayern Munich a 1-0 win over Arsenal in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final. Bayern started the stronger but Arsenal gradually eased themselves into the game.

Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals as the knockout stages get underway in Germany tonight.

As Arsenal travelled to Bayern Munich looking to reach what used to be familiar ground in the Women’s Champions League, Jonas Eidevall did not need to look back far to remind his players how transformative victory can be. It has been 10 years since Arsenal, the only English team to win a European title, last reached the semi-finals. Progress now would be timely, and not just for Arsenal’s development under Eidevall. It would be a significant moment for English clubs in the Champions League, as well as the tournament as a whole.

The Arsenal Women manager, Jonas Eidevall, has told his players to take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Allianz Arena with respect “but without fear”.

Manchester United’s manager, Marc Skinner, raged over two penalty appeals waved away by the referee, Cheryl Foster, in their 1-0 defeat at the WSL champions, Chelsea. “They’re stonewall when I watch them both,” he said. “We have to invest in the officials, we have to invest in the surrounding technology that can help. We’ve come to the champions’ home ground and put our stamp on it – you need those things to go for you.” Skinner also pointed to other incidents this season and warned of the impact of poor decisions on the destination of the title. “It’s the same as what happened in the Arsenal game [against Chelsea in the Continental Cup final], where [Caitlin] Foord goes into the box and Kadeisha [Buchanan] brings her down – it’s a penalty. They need to be picked up, they’re obvious. If they are not obvious we would swallow the medicine and get on with it. We have learned about our resolve and resilience this season; we didn’t crumble. We shouldn’t have to address it, not in big games when we go on to this stage and these are big for what the league looks like in the next eight games. That’s huge decisions.” SW

Given that Kim Little is 32 years old, and 17 months on from international retirement, you could be forgiven for thinking her career is easing to its end. Technically, it probably is reaching its latter stages. However, a masterful controlling performance in Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat of Chelsea in the Continental Cup final demonstrated her continuing quality and how big a hole she will leave at the club when she goes. Emma Hayes said Little “ran the show” against her Chelsea side, and she wasn’t wrong. Little was the conductor of an aggressive and passionate Arsenal orchestra. “When you thought she couldn’t get better, she puts on that performance,” said her manager, Jonas Eidevall. “I told Kim straight after the game: ‘I wasn’t sure if it was possible [but] this is the best you’ve been since I’ve been the coach.’ She was phenomenal in the game, how she connects the team, the duels, the work rate, the decision-making on the ball. She played close to a perfect match.” SW
