'Over two legs I expected Arsenal to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League, I still think they can despite being 2-0 down,' says former Lioness Izzy Christiansen

Izzy Christiansen, a former Lioness, expressed confidence in Arsenal's ability to overturn their 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals. Following a disappointing first leg, the Gunners aim to leverage their home advantage at the Emirates Stadium in the second leg. Christiansen emphasized the importance of an early goal to shift momentum in Arsenal's favor. Having recently trounced Liverpool 4-0, she believes the team is ready for the challenge. Meanwhile, Chelsea will face Manchester City after a controversial match in their own Champions League campaign, intensifying the competitive atmosphere.

"Being at the Emirates will definitely will play a part in gathering momentum, the thing for Arsenal is to score early and they can then really generate momentum and get Real Madrid on the back foot."

"Over two legs I expected them to beat Real Madrid, I still think they can, it's possible. The way they played in the WSL on Saturday against Liverpool would tell me they are more than ready to do what they need to do."
