Arsenal and Barcelona played out a thoroughly entertaining 1-1 draw in the Women's Champions League on Thursday evening. Frida Maanum put the Gunners ahead early, giving the home side something to cling to against one of Europe's most fearsome attacking units.
Arsenal could have doubled their advantage shortly after, but Alessia Russo's effort rattled the post. A cruel bit of luck - the kind that makes you want to have a quiet word with the goalframe.
Barcelona, predictably, weren't in the mood to roll over. Caroline Graham Hansen pulled the Spanish giants level, restoring order to a contest they dominated in terms of possession. Converting that dominance into goals, however, proved another matter entirely, as reported by Flashscore.
Arsenal's rearguard put in a stubborn shift. Goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez came up with vital saves at key moments, keeping the scoreline locked at one apiece. The Gunners held firm to secure a point that keeps their group-stage ambitions very much alive.
Not a bad night's work against the perennial favourites, all things considered.
