What are the highlights of the UWCL Round of 16 matchups?
Hello, hello everyone and welcome to the latest edition of Football W. This one all about the UEFA Women's Champions League. I'm Alexis Yunus alongside my girl Ali Krieger and my other girl Natalia Estrella who is finally here in studio. We cannot wait to get into this because Ladies, the quarterfinals are set and some very intriguing matchups. Plus, might I say, history has been made by Manchester United women.
How did Arsenal perform against Leuven in the playoffs?
Just finding our way over into the quarterfinals like I had anything to do with it. Just cheering at home, but still really good stuff that we're going to talk about. Plus, Juve. Juventus, dark horses of many, Alli Krieger, have crashed out in quite spectacular fashion. We're going to talk about all of that later, but let's start things off with the defending champions, shall we?
What factors contributed to Juventus' exit from the tournament?
Arsenal, because they were in action hosting Leuven in this playoff game. And let me tell you, it was a typical English night, wasn't it, Ali, with rain just absolutely hosing it down. The Gunners were 4-0 up on aggregate. 23rd minute is where we pick things up. The keeper gets a hand to it, but it was a nice finish here from Rousseau. Yeah, brilliant finish. Obviously, tough circumstances regarding the field and the pitch, but both teams have to play. She finds the back of the net early on. 28-minute movement went on the attack in this one. There was a cross here and it went to the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed eventually, Natalia, because it was offside.
What are the predictions for the quarter-finals of the UWCL?
Yeah, it was a sad situation, right? They were celebrating so loud this goal and unfortunately this wasn't good.
Yeah, Lou Man could have used all the help they could get in this one. 64th minute is where we get this one now. Caitlyn Ford gets in the box, she turns, but she's brought down and a penalty is awarded to Arsenal. yeah this was definitely a penalty um just you know the the the defensive you know the lack of quality there was you know she was able to get that get that penalty kick and put the ball in the back of the net and then once again alessio russo here brilliant positioning this is what she does best she's able to turn center backs and the fast trigger just side netting great goal Great goal and great win for the Gunners. They eventually advanced 7-1 on aggregate. And the lady we saw right there, Alessia Russo, she is in quite the race here for the top scorer of this competition.
Two goals ahead of Caroline Weir.
How do Arsenal and Chelsea match up in the upcoming quarter-final?
And Alessia Russo managed to catch up with Farrah Williams and Alex Scott.
Alessia, another big performance on the score sheet once again. What's going on at the moment with all this confidence within yourself as well? I mean, we're playing well, we're playing good football and I think that breeds confidence in everyone and we're winning as well. We're grinding out results in different ways and yeah, everyone's contributing in different ways. So I think the feeling around the whole team in general is just really positive. But what is it about your game this season? Because it feels like you are, you're popping up in different spaces, the way you're turning, holding the ball. Is there certain things that you've been working on? Yeah, we work on loads all the time.
What does Wolfsburg need to do to beat Lyon in the quarter-finals?
I've been trying to work on staying central as long as possible. I think when I was younger and more in the nine or in the ten, I'd drift a little bit wider and I want to be in the box scoring as many goals as I can. So that's something that I'm always working on and varying my game, coming to feet. I like the ball at my feet. I like holding the ball up, but also trying to make a few more runs in behind to stretch their back line. So Yeah, trying to work on lots at the moment.
What do you think it is that has clicked, you know, after the new year coming back? It seems to have all clicked, but what do you think it is?
To be honest, I probably can't put my finger on it, but we're training at a really high level.
What are Manchester United's chances against Bayern Munich?
And I think, like I said, there's just a positive feel around the team. Everyone's got the confidence to do things, whether it's playing out from the back or turning on the ball in midfield and setting up an attack.
