Arsenal has etched its name in European football history once again, securing a stunning 1-0 victory over Barcelona to claim the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

In a match where Barcelona dominated possession and created multiple chances, Arsenal held firm, displaying resilience and tactical discipline.
