Arsenal need a one-goal win to push for extra time or a two-goal margin to reach the final. With Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly back from injury, and Renée Slegers’ bold attacking setup, Arsenal have the tools to fight back. Lyon, unbeaten in seven away games against English sides, boast experience and stars like Ada Hegerberg, making them formidable.
