Player Ratings: 

Daphne van Domselaar 10/10

Great to see her back in goal, key claims and saves throughout. 

Emily Fox 10/10

Her pace is exactly what is needed against such a threatening Barcelona side. Often winning foot races from behind, and able to get out of tight spaces at the back. 

Leah Williamson 10/10

Some fantastic tackles and blocks, using her feet and her body to stop the Barcelona attack. Incredibly reliable. 

Steph Catley 10/10

Performed at the level everyone knows and loves her for, with a strong defensive performance. 

Mariona Caldentey 10/10

Did well against her former side, who didn’t try and take her out of the game. Some key passes and tackles, brilliant performance.

Kim Little 10/10

A huge day for the Arsenal Captain who played well throughout the game, seemed to be in the right place at the right time, in defence and attack. 

Katie McCabe 10/10

Good work-rate, not afraid to put in a difficult challenge, tenacious for the whole game. 

Frida Maanum 10/10

Drifted well in the ten position, putting some good balls in and having a couple of powerful shots on target. Replaced by Stina Blackstenius in the second half. 

Caitlin Foord 10/10

Fantastic outlet on the right wing, most of Arsenal’s chances came from one of her runs. 

Chloe Kelly 10/10

Great game management, getting fouls and turnovers when needed. Replaced by Beth mead in the second half. 

Alessia Russo 10/10

A quiet first half, but good off the ball. 

Stina Blackstenius (Sub, 67’) 10/10

What a goal!!!! 

Beth Mead (Sub, 67’)

Brilliant assist to Blackstenius’ goal.
