Barcelona Femení kicked off their European title defense in dominant fashion, beating Arsenal 4-1 at the Johan Cruyff Stadium in the Women’s Champions League group stage opener. Barça were on top from the start and created plenty of chances, scored some really good goals and proved they are still the dominant force in Europe and the favorites to win it all.
FIRST HALF
Barça were dominant from the very beginning, dominating possession of the ball and forcing an aggressive Arsenal team to defend deep inside their half. The Blaugrana concentrated most of their attacks on the right side, with Aitana Bonmatí and Caroline Graham Hansen constantly combining to create danger and fire shots at goal.
