Arsenal lose WCL crown and Birmingham’s Merricks joins the pod – Women’s Football Weekly

Faye Carruthers is joined by Suzy Wrack, Tom Garry and Sophie Downey to discuss Arsenal’s Champions League exit and speak with Birmingham City’s head coach, Amy Merricks

On today’s pod: Arsenal’s Champions League defence comes to an end as OL Lyonnes overturn the first-leg deficit to reach yet another final. The panel discuss where the tie slipped away, OL Lyonnes’s clinical edge, the impact of VAR on a stop-start contest, and what this means for Renée Slegers’ side heading into the final weeks of the season.

Elsewhere, Barcelona set up a blockbuster final against OL Lyonnes after overcoming Bayern Munich, with the panel reflecting on their continued dominance in Europe and what to expect from two of the game’s heavyweights in Oslo.
