Thank you for tuning in for today’s match. Arsenal delivered a strong performance with a decisive victory away from home, enhancing their chances of advancing from the group stage. Juventus, on the other hand, will need to earn as many points as they can to secure their progression. For a detailed recap of the game, check out the report below. We'll continue covering the tournament this evening, with Tom Garry reporting live from the Manchester City vs. Hammarby match, and I’ll return tomorrow to provide live updates from Celtic vs. Chelsea. Until then, enjoy your evening!

Baukje has sent an email regarding the question about Eidevall and Slegers.

I doubt that Arsenal would have recovered with Eidevall at the helm.

It seemed to me that the connection and trust he once had with the players had disappeared.

Don't believe that Slegers is the main reason behind this big change. It could have occurred with any other interim leader as well.

I believe Sleger is a good fit for the role. She already has a solid rapport with the players, which makes her the ideal choice as an interim coach for the time being.

It seems that the players have relieved some of the tension following Eidevall's departure. This pressure often arises when there's a disconnect between the team and the coach, but no steps have been taken to address the situation. It's not about him as an individual, but rather his role as the coach.

If Slegers can maintain a strong defense and ensure they score 4-5 goals each game, great things are on the horizon.

There is certainly a noticeable transformation in this Arsenal squad. Slegers has mentioned that she will lead the team at least until the next international break, so we’ll have to see what unfolds after that.

I have to admit, I really enjoy the play on words in this Arsenal post, and it's also a bit annoying that I didn’t come up with it first.

Arsenal is currently in second place, while Bayern Munich leads their group. The German team previously defeated Arsenal in an earlier match and still has one more group game to play, which will start at 8 PM GMT. Juventus is holding onto third place.

Barcelona's match against St. Polten concluded with a dominant score of 7-0, featuring goals from Claudia Pina and Caroline Graham Hansen in the second half. Despite this impressive victory, the reigning champions remain in second place in their group, trailing Manchester City, who previously defeated them in the tournament.

Here are the three goals that Arsenal netted in the second half:

Do you think Arsenal would have recovered if Jonas Eidevall had stayed on as coach? Or has Renee Slegers made a significant difference? I'd love to hear your opinions—feel free to reach out!

Juventus Thrashed By Arsenal: 0-4 Final Score

Arsenal achieved a solid and efficient victory in this match. They are clearly in top shape again and are proving to be a formidable force in both the WCL and WSL. While Juventus still has a chance to advance in Europe, this loss will certainly dent their aspirations.

90 + 3 min: Is there a possibility for Arsenal to find the net once more? Caldentey is unable to take a shot but manages to earn a free kick. However, it doesn't lead to anything productive.

90 + 1 minute: The pass was decent, but no one was able to make contact. Juventus tried to bring it back in, but it went out for a goal kick after Bonansea kicked it out. There will be four minutes of stoppage time.

90 minutes: Juventus earns a corner kick in the dying moments as Williamson runs it out of play.

88 minutes into the game, an Arsenal victory was still a possibility, especially considering their remarkable 5-0 triumph against Brighton. Renee Slegers is doing an outstanding job as the interim coach for Arsenal.

86 minutes: Fox makes way for Codina after a strong outing from the American player. Cooney-Cross also enters the game, replacing Walti.

85 minutes in: Arsenal is gaining momentum once more, displaying some clever passing near the penalty area. Juventus manages to hold them off for the moment.

83 minutes in: If Arsenal can hold on, this would be a monumental win for them. It would certainly make for an exhilarating finish if Juventus were to turn things around, but they don’t seem to be playing well enough this evening.

In the 81st minute, Caldentey netted her third goal in the Women’s Champions League this season. Hurtig started the play, and Foord played a key role in maintaining the momentum. Caldentey seized the opportunity, and they have decisively outperformed Juventus.

In the 80th minute, Fox makes an impressive run down the field, but Peyraud-Magnin manages to gather her cross. The USA player has really contributed to Arsenal's performance this evening.

78 minutes: Hurtig has come on for Arsenal. She previously transferred from Juventus to Arsenal a few seasons back, making this evening a bit of a homecoming for her.

76 minutes in: Kullberg kept giving ground to Blackstenius, who capitalized on the opportunity. She sprinted forward and scored, successfully getting past the goalkeeper. It looks like Arsenal is on track to secure all three points now.

Blackstenius extends the advantage with an impressive solo run.

75 min: Juventus is putting forth a tremendous effort to break through Arsenal's defense, but the Gunners' backline is holding firm. They've had a solid performance today.

73 minutes: The corner kick is cleared away, but Williamson quickly sends it back into the box. However, Peyraud-Magnin is there to catch it and successfully clears the ball.

71 minutes in: Van Domselaar looks perfectly okay to keep playing, so draw your own conclusions from that. Arsenal quickly pushes forward, with Caldentey taking a shot at goal. Peyraud-Magnin manages to deflect it out for a corner.

70 minutes in: Van Domselaar is on the ground with an injury, and the medical team has rushed over to assist her. It's unclear whether this is a strategic decision or if the goalkeeper is genuinely hurt.

In the 68th minute, Juventus executed a nice play, but the final pass intended for Cantore was overhit, allowing Arsenal to clear the ball.

67 minutes into the match, McCabe expresses frustration as Juventus players encroach on their line for the wall. McCabe then sends a long pass, which Foord redirects with a header towards Williamson, but the defender's attempt goes over the goal. Juventus quickly responds with a counterattack, and Vangsgaard takes a shot that gets saved. The intensity of this game is fierce, filled with non-stop action.

65 minutes: Arsenal earns a free kick after Bonansea fouls Williamson. The spot looks promising, and McCabe is set to take the kick.

63 minutes in: The match has become a bit messy and disjointed, but Arsenal remains the side with the upper hand.

In the 61st minute, Arsenal substitutes McCabe for Blackstenius, while Juventus brings on Bonansea in place of a player.

At the 60-minute mark, Bergamaschi is called offside, and she can be overheard expressing her disbelief by saying, "no, no, no." The frustration among the Juventus players is evident. Arsenal quickly responds on a counterattack and nearly scores again when Fox's shot hits the crossbar—what a close call!

58 minutes in: Foord makes an impressive run and sets up a chance for Walti, but Beccari prevents it from reaching the goal, forcing a corner instead. The corner kick is well executed, and Williamson manages to get a solid touch, but Peyraud-Magnin comes through with an excellent save.

56 minutes in: Despite a few mistakes, Cascarino has been a solid presence for Juventus this evening. She has executed some important clearances and has had a fierce contest with Mead.

55 min: Vangsgaard makes an impressive dash down the field, but since there's no one with her, her cross is easily collected by Van Domselaar.

53 minutes into the match: Foord delivers a nice pass into the penalty area, but the Juventus defenders anticipate it well and manage to clear the danger.

At the 51-minute mark, Arsenal displayed some beautiful ball movement, but Maanum was caught offside, allowing Juventus to quickly counter. Bergamaschi delivered a cross into the penalty area, but Fox was fouled inside the box, enabling Arsenal to clear the danger.

49 minutes into the game: There have been some intriguing challenges so far, but surprisingly, no yellow cards have been issued yet. The most recent challenge involved Mead and Caruso. Mead needs to be cautious after that aggressive encounter in the first half.

47 minutes: No substitutions have been made at the break, but Kuhl appeared to be getting ready on the sidelines.

Match Resumes: Juventus 0-1 Arsenal

Can Arsenal maintain or increase their lead? Or will Juventus find a way to make a comeback? Stay tuned for what's next.

In the other match starting at 5:45 PM GMT, Barcelona is dominating St. Polten with a score of 5-0. Ewa Pajor has scored twice, while Keira Walsh, Kika Nazareth, and Claudia Pina have also added goals.

Here’s what Maanum aims to achieve:

Half-Time Score: Juventus 0, Arsenal 1

Juventus faced a lot of pressure at the beginning but couldn't turn it into a score. Arsenal increased their ball control and opportunities, leading to Frida Maanum scoring the decisive goal. This marked the first time Juventus had allowed a goal in four matches. It's still an open contest, but Arsenal is in the lead.

45 + 1 min: An additional two minutes will be included.

44 min: Arsenal is showcasing some impressive football, effortlessly penetrating the Juventus defense. Their most recent offensive move concludes with the ball being cleared from the penalty area.

42 minutes in: Arsenal is aiming to score again before the halftime break, but Maanum sends the ball over the crossbar, resulting in a goal kick. It’s worth noting that Renee Slegers is making a strong case for the permanent manager role with the team's recent performance. Whether she will be taken into account for the position remains to be seen, but she has done an impressive job as the interim manager.

In the 40th minute, Arsenal brilliantly slices through Juventus' defense, allowing Maanum to outsmart Peyraud-Magnin, resulting in the ball rolling into the net. Arsenal finally gets the goal they deserve after all their hard work.
