Arsenal Women win Champions League opener via Caldentey penalty
Arsenal Women secured a 1-0 victory against HB Køge in their Women's Champions League opening match. The decisive moment came in the 93rd minute when Mariona Caldentey converted a penalty to clinch the win.
Despite the victory, the performance raised questions regarding the team's efficiency in front of the goal. Manager Renée Slegers faced scrutiny as the squad struggled to capitalize on dominant possession and multiple scoring opportunities throughout the match.
While Caldentey was instrumental, other Spanish players in the squad, including Ona Batlle and Misa Rodríguez, remained on the bench and did not see any playing time. Other notable results from the Champions League opening included a 2-2 draw between Bayern Munich and Manchester City, and a 1-2 away win for Benfica against Juventus.
