Live updates as Arsenal take on Lyon in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
Slegers: “It’s a different scenario, we had to come back twice last year against Real Madrid and Lyon. We have a lead now after 90 minutes at the Emirates. It will be very challenging and we will have to be really good in that second leg.
Arsenal boss Renee Slegers: “We are missing a couple of players, we don’t know when Beth [Mead] will be back. Chloe [Kelly] was just a minor issue so we will see if it is Wednesday or next weekend. We have such a tight schedule, we need everybody to perform and be ready.”
Arsenal striker Alessia Russo: “We want to start faster in Lyon, carry on from the second half performance and build on it.
“There is always belief in the squad. We have the mindset that we believe in every single person and player. We have to put in a massive shift in.”
