Arsenal vs Lyon: Can the Gunners Deny Montemurro's Return for Victory?
The Women's Champions League semi-final sees Arsenal face Lyon and a reunion with ex-coach Montemurro.



Arsenal and Lyon are set to meet in a crucial Women's Champions League semi-final. This encounter holds significant importance for both teams, especially for Arsenal, as it presents a chance to claim their first European crown since 2007. Lyon, on the other hand, aims for a record-extending ninth title. The return of former Arsenal head coach Joe Montemurro to Emirates Stadium adds an extra layer of drama to the event. Montemurro, who is now in charge of Lyon, is fondly remembered by Arsenal for his achievements during his tenure. However, Renee Slegers, the current Arsenal coach, is tasked with spoiling Montemurro's return. Arsenal have shown improved attacking form under Slegers and will look to exploit Lyon's weaknesses. But Lyon, with their strong squad and form, pose a significant challenge.
