Arsenal women's football team, led by captain Leah Williamson, stunned European giants Barcelona to win their first Champions League title in 18 years. Stina Blackstenius scored the only goal, securing a 1-0 victory for the Gunners in Lisbon. Williamson, a childhood Arsenal fan who was the club's mascot when they last won the competition in 2007, expressed her joy and disbelief at the win, stating, "I knew it was going to happen against Lyon, I knew it was going to happen in the final. And magic delivered." The team's celebration was marked by a large gathering of fans at Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal's club dog, Win, was front and center. The victory ensures Arsenal's place in the group phase of next season's Champions League, avoiding qualification rounds.
