On May 24, 2025, Arsenal Women secured their second UEFA Women's Champions League title—and first since 2007—by defeating reigning champions Barcelona 1–0 at Estadio José Alvalade in Lisbon.
Substitute Stina Blackstenius, swedish international, scored the match-winning goal in the 74th minute.
Arsenal's defense, led by Leah Williamson, delivered a resolute performance, limiting Barcelona's 20 attempts and 12 corners. Williamson earned a player rating of 9 for her crucial blocks and interceptions.
The victory was particularly poignant for Leah Williamson, who had been a mascot during Arsenal's 2007 triumph. Her journey from mascot to captain underscores the significance of this win.
