He Bavaria yesterday he lost Arsenal in the premiere of both teams in Champions League. Three goals from Pernille Harder They dashed the London team’s hopes of taking any points from Munich. The Danish forward ignored goals scored by Mariona Caldentey and Laia Codina and emerged as the MVP of the match played in Munich.
Although leading in the first half thanks to Mariona Caldentey, Jonas Eidevall’s team lost 5-2, also thanks to goals from Lohmann and Viggósdótir. Arsenal, who are also not expecting anything in the WSL, host Chelsea this Saturday in a very important match for the Gunners.
Due to league problems, Eidevall made five changes to his starting lineup. Manuela Zinsberger, Leah Williamson, Caitlin Foord, Lia Wälti and Stina Blackstenius returned with the aim of adding experience, but it was useless against a Bayern who arrived in top form, having won their last seven games in all competitions .
Everything started well. Mariona cleverly took advantage of a cross from Katie McCabe and Grohs headed it wide. But the joy was short-lived: Viggósdóttir, captain, rose above Blackstenius in the area to head before the break (1-1). Bayern went all out in the second half and Lohmann went like a rocket into space and scored a low, powerful shot.
The visitors hit back briefly and Laia Codina equalized with a header, but then it all came crashing down. Harder carried the team on his back on the day he turned 50 in the Champions League and scored a dazzling hat trick (73′, 78′ and 86′) that knocked Arsenal out. The defense is broken and now it’s time to get back together in two days for the big London derby.
