But now there was only two in the final two.
And both teams were looking very very relaxed when they arrived at the stadium.
And Eva Payot made you use that electric pace of hers getting it behind
Vandamselaar a long way from home. Claudia Pienaar has got a lot of Alexia together.
Yes she was and that ball fell to Alexia Vandamselaar out of goal. I wondered whether
she was going to go for something spectacular. Well that's the glance on from Eva Payot.
Mariana Caldente offers 300 appearances at a time with Barcelona. One absolutely everything.
It's for playing in these games for Arsenal the reason why she was brought in.
And it goes and back across the face from Caitlin Ford.
Playing in the Champions League key factor to her move to the club.
A move from the courage in the NWSL. Behind here Arsenal as it comes across. Oh a goal!
Put into her own goal by Irina Paredes. Arsenal. Is it in the build-up? Is it the offside? Let's
have a look. I think it is. I think it is. It's such a shame because it's a nice move from Arsenal
out wide and then that. So offside they are checking but this is not going to count.
So Irina Paredes and Barcelona can breathe one giant sigh of relief. Mariana.
So some really really good things about Mariana. I'm wishing her all the best just not tonight.
Payal. Three in the morning. Here she goes.
And Katakoi showing why she is one of the best around. Well she's not too much to do has she
Katakoi. The win called upon. Pounds is into action. Great save.
Aitana is going to go short for Mbappé-Leon. Back for Aitana.
Claudia Pienaar. Well she's known for her spectacular goals. Came off the bench to seal it.
Patrick Guerreiro for Alexiou again. Claudia Pienaar. Aitana for Claudia Pienaar again.
That's looping and onto the frame of the goal. Graham Hansen for Aitana with a little cheeky
flick to just stand still then. I'll tell you who did stand still. Vandam Salaar when this comes
across. She's just stuck. She doesn't move look. She thinks for all the world it's going in. She
just watches it go over her. Luckily it's all part of the fan zone. Alexiou. Great turn from Alexiou.
On a badger. He's going to have a goal. And she is that close. They are getting closer and closer.
Caitlin Ford by the way. She does well to almost rescue that situation and make sure that
Alexiou can't get a shot off. That's traveling. It's hit true. It's not far past the post.
Before deciding upon football. Could it be Arsenal on the sprint here to get away? That's McCabe.
Beaten to it. Aitana Bonmati. Forced away by Vandam Salaar. I don't know
whether she might anticipate Bonmati going across the goal there. Tries to sneak it into that near
post area. Makes the save. Make sure it's away from the goal as well. Not back into bodies.
Gone for that shorter option again here. Mbappé-Leon on the badger. She will take it on.
It might just have had. It's going to be coming on. The Patrick Guijarro. That's a little short.
They can't keep hold of it. Here's Alexiou. Rolfer keeps it low. And how is that not gone in?
Queen do to change things for Barcelona powers. Rousseau to get away from Mbappé-Leon.
Could be Arsenal's moment. Beth Mead to her right. Rousseau to go alone. Rousseau!
Catacoin. Massive moment in the match. And everybody just held their breath. Honestly,
her movement is so intelligent. But look at this. The tenacity from Alessia Rousseau.
Look at Beth Mead on the right hand side. She can't really see her. But what she's doing
is she's keeping the defence honest and making sure that she opens up that space.
Actually, Placidenius, wasn't it? Takes the shot on. Maitana with that red wall in front of her
again. Alexiou to the roof of the net from Payot. What she's so good at. Any side of the goalkeeper
probably a goal. And then this one again. Marijona, Caldente.
Storm by Williamson. Just has caused a bit of chaos in there. Marijona again. A shot from Mead.
Might work out. It does! Staying up like Stanius. It's tight. It's really tight,
I think she's on. They are checking it.
I'll tell you what though. It's a brilliant goal. We'll get a closer look at it.
Initially, it's just about keeping this ball alive, which they do really well. Kim Little
out to Marijona. Comes back across. And it's just about the tight movement. Look at Placidenius.
She's always watching. She's always moving. She's on the shoulder. She's on. She's on side.
And what a finish that is. Takes it on the back foot. Fires it across the goalkeeper.
What a moment for Arsenal. And you know what it is? It's the two substitutes combining, Chris.
What an impact. Just over seven minutes on the pitch. Staying up like Stanius.
It's Arsenal. It's Arsenal. Champions of Europe. 18 long years. Emulating the heroes of 2007.
An extraordinary achievement that will live long in the history. Champions of Europe again. Arsenal.
