Renee Slegers credited Arsenal's strong belief for their Women's Champions League final win against Barcelona. Substitute Stina Blackstenius scored the decisive goal in the 74th minute at Estadio Jose Alvalade, securing Arsenal their second Champions League title, 18 years after their first. This victory came after defeating the tournament's recent champions, Lyon and Barcelona. Slegers, the first Dutch manager to win the Women's Champions League, took interim charge in October and enjoyed a phenomenal start, becoming permanent head coach in January after winning successive matches.
We knew it was going to be a game where momentum shifts because we respect Barcelona, who they are, and how good they are on the ball.
In all the phases that happened we showed the mentality, the resilience, the effectiveness in all our actions and the belief was incredible.
