Red-and-white streamers rained down as Arsenal stunned defending champions Barcelona 1-0, claiming their second UEFA Women’s Champions League title – their first in 18 years.

Stina Blackstenius scored the only goal in the 74th minute, assisted by Beth Mead, both coming on as substitutes. Arsenal’s dogged defense held firm, frustrating Barcelona’s star-studded attack led by Aitana Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas.

Arsenal’s win marked a remarkable turnaround following a rocky season that saw Jonas Eidevall step down and assistant Renée Seglers take charge. Seglers masterminded a tactical triumph, guiding the London club past Real Madrid, Lyon, and now Barcelona.

Captain Kim Little:

“We had to be perfect to beat Barcelona. The impact from our substitutes was incredible.”

Barcelona, favorites to win a fourth title in five years, dominated early second-half possession but failed to break through. Their best chance came when Clàudia Pina hit the crossbar.

Arsenal’s intense pressing and disciplined defending—spearheaded by Katie McCabe and Alessia Russo—neutralized the tournament's highest-scoring team.

Renée Seglers:

“We used every possible tool to disrupt their rhythm while staying true to our identity. We focused on breaking their midfield flow.”

Despite the majority of the crowd backing Barcelona, the Spanish giants couldn’t respond to Arsenal’s resilience.

Aitana Bonmatí:

“I feel sadness for our fans who traveled here in thousands. We’ll be back.”
