Arsenal's unexpected triumph in the Champions League, a victory that left many surprised; Rachel Yankey praises their tenacity, noting their resilience and a tough-to-defeat demeanor as key factors in their WSL aspirations.
Rachel Yankey, a former Arsenal winger, expressed her joy over the club's title win last season in the Women's Super League. The 2022 campaign begins for Arsenal on September 5 against London City Lionesses, who were promoted from the Women's Championship.
Arsenal's European victory in the Champions League last year is seen as a potential springboard for their domestic campaign. In the 2007 Champions League final, Arsenal demonstrated resilience and hard-to-beat character, defeating Swedish side Umea 1-0. This was Arsenal's first Champions League title, a historic moment for the club.
Rachel Yankey was part of Arsenal's team that achieved this victory in 2007. Thousands of Arsenal fans travelled to Portugal for the final, creating an electric atmosphere. The team's star player in the 2021/22 Women's Super League season, under new coach Jonas Eidevall, included Chloe Kelly. However, notable Swiss forward Alisha Lehmann joined Aston Villa for that season, not Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea, who won the Women's Super League and claimed a domestic treble last season, will begin their title defence on September 5 against Manchester City. Sonia Bompastor is the manager of Chelsea.
Rachel Yankey believes Arsenal can win the Women's Super League this season. As the new season begins, fans and pundits alike will be eager to see if Arsenal can repeat their Champions League success in the domestic league. The 2007 Champions League victory remains a cherished moment in Arsenal's history, and the team will aim to create more such memories in the 2022 Women's Super League season.
