Futbol W: Arsenal's Struggling UWCL Start

22:53Leanne mentioned Chelsea, and we're going to take a look at how they fared yesterday. Versus St. Poulton, we have to say, it's been really tough here for St. Poulton. And they were going to try something here against Chelsea, but Naomi Gorma, Melissa Thompson, they're starting great news there for the Americans. 13th minute, though, Ellie Carpenter finding captain who scores, Allie. Yeah, Ellie is having a brilliant start to this season, and I'm so happy that now she's at Chelsea. But well done, great cutback ball there, penalty spots, really difficult to defend. Yeah, Chelsea here. We're just getting started, and so was Pat Macario, Allie.

23:28Yeah, she's looking brilliant and having such a positive impact immediately into the game. I'm so happy. Great ball by Guillermo to get this through. Once again, just slips a little combination play. Macario finishes it. I mean, the pace of Alyssa Thompson, too, on this one, trying to get it outside the box but draws a foul for a penalty. Yeah, she's definitely building confidence off of that goal over the weekend and able to get this foul and this penalty kick. And then Macario obviously does what she does best, puts the ball. simply into the side netting. She makes it look easy. Makes it look so easy.

23:58And so does Sam Kerr too with this. Just little flick to turn it around and then puts it in the back of the deck. Yeah, it's so great to see her back. She's almost fully fit. We could see these little movements are a lot sharper and sharper every time she gets out on the field. Hey, the new mom, she's glowing 86 minute. Lisa Everett for the 5 nil and yeah, the faces of the Sam Bolton players just was everything. Yeah, that's just an unfortunate that own goal once once in a lifetime kind of own goal there. And how about a brace now from Sam Kerr for the 6-0 and Chelsea with no problems here getting past St.

24:36Poulton with 6-0. But let's talk about most goals by U.S. internationals. Katerina Macario, no surprise to see her there with 14, surpassing the recently retired there. Kristen Press, Lindsay Heaps was about to score such a beautiful goal yesterday, by the way, with that set piece and Sam Mewis too. They're following it closely behind. Impressive from Kat McCarroll, which we saw there for two goals. And we had her post-match with our Ben Haynes and Josephine Henning. How did you find out there? Yeah, it was a good game, yeah. I think it was a great game for us, especially. Give us a little bit of confidence going to the next matches.

25:16And yeah, I think it was a fun one to be out there, actually. yeah, it took a lot of patience, but yeah, it was a good game. Was that the most important thing tonight? It felt like in that first half with them sitting in slightly deeper. I mean, Sonia mentioned to us before the game that you knew you were going to face a defense that was going to sit in and be difficult to break down. So it felt like when you nicked your goal on the stroke of halftime, that might be the moment just to take the momentum. Yeah, no, I think that was definitely very important. Yeah, I think they did a great job in defending, and, you know, yeah, just trying to stay compact against us, which made it even harder.

25:55But I think when we got that second goal right before halftime, then, yeah, I think that, yeah, that just gave us a little bit, you know, just a little bit more confidence to come out in the second half and just really just do our thing. And I think the game opened up a little bit more and we were just able to score more goals. What did Sonia say in the halftime? We're not leaving until six? What did you say? Something like that, yeah. No, but, you know, she knew that we have the quality, you know, to be able to break them down. That it just requires patience and it requires us playing quickly, switching the play and just working off of each other.

26:32And I think we did a great job in doing that, especially in the second half. And, yeah, thankfully, we're able to capitalize on our chances and, yeah, just score six like she wanted. And I want to talk about a hat trick of players as well. The first time you've had the full Team USA out on the pitch together tonight. How was that experience of playing together for Chelsea in the Champions League? It was special. Yeah, it was special. We've been, I mean, obviously we know each other very well. And yeah, I mean, we've been training together for a while, but to be able to do so, to play at this level and to represent Chelsea while doing so was very, very special.

27:11And yeah, I hope that we'll be able to do that for many more games to come. We hope so too because that means that Kat, Alyssa, and Naomi are injury-free, which is something that we always love to see and seeing them start here and have such a good time. But I want to start with our focus on Katerina Macario here, Allie. She's so impressive in everything she does. Just how important has she been for Chelsea's success? Yeah, she's been extremely important. Her decisiveness, her, you know, just timing, the vision that she has, just the quality. she's back to the Katarina Macario, if not better than who we saw before her injury.

27:52So coming back, it takes a while to get back into that game fitness, to get back into that confidence and that tempo specifically, and having that pace and sharpness that we were talking about with Sam Kerr, kind of just seeing now and giving her that, the opportunity to get back to who she knows she can be is amazing. And to help score goals and to create, to be dominant consistently, it's really difficult to do. And now I think we're seeing her at her best. Yeah, we truly are, Leanne, especially with the players around her too, to just kind of, it sounds weird to say, but they really allow her to play at her full potential, correct?

28:31Yeah, I think we're seeing her at best. I agree with what Ali said. It's taken her a little while. I don't think the English fans have really seen the best of Kat Macario or Naomi Gurma. I talk about them all the time. I'm always saying Naomi Gurma, for me, is the best defender in the world. And everybody's waiting to see. And now they're seeing. You know, the balls that Naomi Gurma was playing through today. She played another one to Yana Ritton, Cannery. And it was like a dream. You know, she's looking like Xavi out there. Or in the S star, playing balls. And I'm like, now people are finally getting to see.

28:58Because unfortunately for Naomi, she came over and got injured. And the same with Kat Makario. Emma Hayes brought her in. Then she got injured. But now we're finally seeing the best of Kat Makario. And she's a little bit deeper as well. And obviously in this Chelsea team, they don't keep the same 11. So there's not much consistent performances in the 11. But I will say that it's great to see Alyssa Thompson getting more of a run of games. And we can see that goal she scored at the weekend. And I love Alyssa Thompson. We all do. And I'm just delighted to see that the fans in England are getting to see these American players shining.

29:28Yeah, absolutely. You said something to me here before we came back on air about how great it must be to have those U.S. teammates, Ali, not only at the national team level, but at the club level and in a different country, different continent, but together. Yeah, I think both on and off the field, right? You have that relationship building on the field that you're so used to each other. You know exactly where you're running and, you know, what type of ball you want to play. You make each other look good. And then off the field, she has, you know, she has a friend and she has somebody who she can hang out with and they can share this new experience together, more so for Alyssa having this new experience.

30:06But, you know, kind of Kat helping her, you know, along the way and showing her the ropes. But I think just sharing that, you know, experience in the new club and just being teammates, that would have been really nice to have. You know, it worked out either way, but it would have been nice to share, you know, that experience with one of my U.S. Women's National Team teammates as well. Yeah, definitely. Here with Kat Macario, too. I'm sure with a lot of advice for Naomi Gomera coming in, being injured, Leanne. And, you know, now you're going to start, you know, be able to say, I told you so to those people who maybe doubted Naomi Gurma, but not only heard that good news to see her in the starting lineup, but Sam Kerr as well after that really tough injury that we saw.

30:49And it was crazy, actually, these numbers, 692 days since the last Women's Champions League start for Sam Kerr. I mean, obviously, it's very special to see her back and Naomi Gurma. But to you, how can Chelsea really capitalize on having these two standout players healthy and be able to start a Champions League game again? Yeah, I mean, they're game changers, aren't they, in any team? And I think for Sam Kerr, you know, it's been over two years. I think it helped when she came back against Aston Villa. She got her first goal after a couple of minutes. And I think for Naomi Germa, you know, when she came here, she got injured pretty quickly.

31:24And then her first game back was against Barcelona in the Champions League semifinal, going up against the best players. So I felt for her in that moment. But I think when you look at these two players, they would be in the starting level for any team. But this is the luxury of this Chelsea side that, you know, when they are fully fit, I have no doubt they're two of the first names that will be on the team sheet. But it's a difficult moment for Sonia Bonpastor. It's a great problem to have. A lot of coaches would love this problem. But tweaking, as we saw against FC Twenter, didn't quite work out.

31:52But it's about the chemistry of the players. And I think, you know, fair play. I agree with what Ali said about when you go to another country, and you have your fellow country people there, it makes a difference because I never had that luxury either. So I think for Naomi, Gurma, Sam Kerr, these types of players, we know the quality that they have and it's just frightening for everybody else because Chelsea win the league in the WSL consistently, but it's that one thing that's gotten away from them and that is the Champions League. I keep saying it. These players were not brought in to win the WSL.

32:21They were brought in to win the Champions League and they have to do it this year. Easier said than done. Seeing Arsenal do it last year. If I was on this Chelsea side, that would have hurt me for sure. So they have to get it done this year. Can't be any excuses. Yeah, zero excuses, especially if you have your full fit team, because maybe that was the excuses that we could even ourselves give this Chelsea side here, Ali. But it's a mission also personally for a Naomi Gurma, who can finally show what she's truly made of. Not that we ever doubted her, but that injury just really obviously limited her.

32:54Yeah, not only has the injury, you know, had limited her for a little bit. We all know she's the best defender in the world. Like Leanna mentioned earlier, that's very clear to everyone. And she deserves that. She's very consistent. She's reliable. She can also play, you know, in the six as well and dictate the center of the park. But it's also an adjustment off the field that it takes a little bit of time, right? And we have to, you know, give them a little bit more grace and a little bit more credit and making that adjustment. You can't just walk into a new team, a new culture, a new atmosphere, and a new country, right, and expect to be the best of the best.

33:34So she is, right? She is the best defender, but she deserves some time. She deserves some time, and now we're here, and she's worked through the injury. She's getting back fully fit. You know she's serious. You know she's confident, and you can count on her to show up every single moment she's allowed and given the opportunity, and she will perform to the best of her ability. What did you say, Leanne? I said, and the weather in England. It's a little bit different than Sunday, but Snapdragon. The food, the weather. Our food's good. It is good. It is good. It is good. I recently had the chance to explore that more.

34:09Listen, my brother lives in London and he can't live without his Sunday roast anymore. It is a thing. He sends us a picture every single Sunday. So hello to my brother, David. Let's move on to a little bit more Champions League action that we saw. Olympique Lyonese here versus Wolfsburg. This was supposed to be maybe a tighter game. Correct me if I'm wrong here, Allie. Lindsay Heaps, this is the free kick that I was talking about. But hey, there's Ada Hegerberg as well, to put it one no. I mean, so close. Heaps hits the post and was able to get the rebound. Well done. So they were up 1-0, 2-0 now for Hegerberg as well for Brace.

34:54And she's been brilliant. She's just a forward you can count on. She's a true 9. She has a knack for goals. She's just an impact player, creates opportunities, but then finishes chances once again here. Affects the play almost a third, but was able to get in there and do as much as she could. Unfortunately, couldn't put it in the back of the net, but it was so close. A little tug there for Melchie Dumont, who drew that foul, that penalty. 3-0, Wendy Renard, who stepped up for that one. 80th minute, though. Wolfsburg was at least going to get one back, Ali. Yeah, I mean, really great run. Obviously, so quick.

35:36The pace on that, really good timing. Oftentimes, you could be off sides of this, but she times it really well off the back shoulder and gets in behind. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Hegerberg has just been so legendary as we know her, but that was her 69th goal. That's most in competition history. And here's what she had to say after this one. Do you think going back to the Arsenal game last season when you went out of the semi-final? Let's not talk about last season. It looks like the group has been re-motivated by that defeat. 16 games now, not just unbeaten. You've won 16 games on the bounce. looking good.

36:13Do you reckon that was kind of, you know, going out of that stage in the manner you did at home here motivated the team to be better this year? I think when you're coming from a season where you're not happy with how you perform collectively, individually, you have the opportunity to ask yourself some questions how you want to move on as a club. And I think we have been working very hard from the summer on. obviously we have some experienced players in the team who knows what it's all about it takes a lot to win the Champions League it's not a... Leon have made it look easy over the years I think actually we made it look maybe too easy and it's hard but it takes time we have a new team as well we have a lot of new players so it takes time to integrate the new players and we have a completely different staff as well so honestly it's a good start for us I think this start allows us to be more self-critical, to keep pushing, I mean, to take care of ourselves, not to go over the limits either physically because we've got to stay fit.

37:19But we're on a good start and it's very motivating for all of us. Yeah. I mean, it should be very motivating, especially when you beat a team like Wolfsburg, who is also very much used to winning this tournament here at Leanne. What kind of statement did Lyonese just make with this statement of a win? yeah they look really really good I said it was almost like a carbon copy of tonight's game with Bayern Munich versus Arsenal but then the score didn't quite add up Wolfsburg were nowhere near at the races for a minute one defensively I'd expect a little bit more now we know they're in a transition period I know Ada Hegelberg touched upon Lyon having a lot of new players but the same with Wolfsburg as well this season a lot of young players but Alexander Popp couldn't get into the game you know but I think for this Lyon team they look really good and it was almost like you You know, I was watching this team and I was thinking, this looks all too familiar.

38:12They look like Barcelona. And I'm not saying personnel-wise. I'm talking the way they were moving the ball around the field. You know, Corbin Schrader in the midfield with Lindsay Heaps and De Mournay. They were fantastic in the three, popping the ball for fun. Then Lili O 'Hannes comes into the game. Schoenga was on the bench. Totoro was on the bench. You know, they loved strength and depth, but they controlled the tempo for a minute one. Merenstein scored a fantastic goal for Wolfsburg. but I think Leon just looks really, really good and I cannot wait. I love the fact the new format, 18 teams, is allowing us to see these top teams play each other early on because I think we're seeing early on the favourites.

38:48We really are. Like, Leon look unbelievable and fair play to Jonathan Heraldis because I like him as a person but I was a little bit, you know, disappointed he left the Washington Spirit so early on. You know, I wanted to see him do a little bit more in the NWSL but I think it suits better European-style football And, I mean, he's done fantastically well in a short space of time so far. Yeah, it seems like he knows how to have that quick turnaround. We saw that momentarily with the Washington spirit. It was cut short, as Leanne said. But now here, quick turnaround, time to focus on the Women's Champions League.

39:19What's standing out to you the most at this point? Are you seeing them as a favorite as well, like Leanne is saying? Yeah, for sure. They just proved why they're the gold standard in Europe, right? In European football, they always show up every single year, even if they don't necessarily win in the semifinals finals recently. But they are proving to be one of the best in Europe. And I think they are tactically sound. They dictate the tempo. They're even in those highlights that you saw. They're so aggressive in the way and style that they want to play. Immediately transition the ball forward.

39:54They have active passing. They're breaking lines. They're always trying to look to combine, switch the point of attack. I mean, you could say all of the main principles at this level are being used and breaking teams down. And so it's really fun to see. It's great to see Lindsey and Lily and then Schrader now performing well. I hope she gets a note back to the national team because she deserves it. No matter how people feel about her, I do think she's been performing well for Lyon this season so far. and then especially yesterday was really, really impressive. So their midfield is really hard to break down.

40:36And I think their front six, like a Barcelona, are very similar, like Leanne touched on. Yeah, we saw Lili Johannes come into the game here at the back end. Leanne, to you, is she working her way to be an undisputed starter like we're seeing with Corbin Schrader? I keep wanting to call her Corbin Albert. And Lindsay Heaves. I mean, it's a difficult one because she's still a young player. and this is a difficult team to get into. Look at their bench. I just reeled off. But I think when she comes into the game, when she came in yesterday, she gave away the ball a little bit too much for my liking.

41:08But I'm okay with that because she's giving away the ball in the attacking areas. She's flicking on the outside of the foot. She's doing things that you want young players to do and to play freely. So I think, you know, it'll be quite difficult for her to break into the team right now. But I think Jonathan Raudez is managing this team in an incredible way. And I want to give a special mention to Tarsian yesterday because she was fantastic in that game. A player that people will be familiar with with the Houston Dash last season. And she was fantastic in this game. She was high up the field and she had a brilliant game.

41:38And another note, I can't believe that Hegerberg allowed Wendy Renard to take the penalty when she was on her hat trick. Because for me, if I'm on the field of play and I'm on my hat trick, I'd have a hard time giving that. Very good to be selfless in that moment. Yeah, she's so impressive, Ali. And it's tough to think what team could stop someone like Hegerberg. No, and she, you know, she made a new record yesterday, contributed to the record, and she's been super impressive. I know she was five years away from the Norwegian national team, but, you know, she's really made her stand here in Lyon, and she is an incredible forward.

42:12She's powerful, she's fierce, she's tenacious, and she wants to always get on the ball and be involved. And as a nine, that's exactly who you want in those positions. She's really good back to goal, but she's also willing to get into the box and get on the end of things. And that's just a true nine who just has a knack for goal and wants to get in good positions to score and create. Yeah, a true veteran, a true legend that we're seeing in Hagerberg still performing at such a high level. Let's take a look to Real Madrid now who had their own match against Paris FC, not to be confused with PSG. Let's take it into the 38th minute.

42:52I say that more for myself. Paris FC on the attacking now. Sheikha Scott. A lot of penalties this week that we saw in the Champions League. Right. She's able to draw the foul, and it's a penalty called immediately. The defender just, you know, doesn't slow up, just runs right through her. Yeah, Lorena Azzaro here scoring the penalty. It's 1-0. And now, 98th minute, never too late, tying the game 1-1, it's Caroline Weyer. Yeah, I mean, she's a Scottish international, well done. I think Real Madrid is definitely going to be disappointed in this draw because, you know, they were the favorites coming into this.

43:35And fortunately, they were able to score here to tie it. and well done by Caroline Weir here, who's hopefully going to captain the national team at some point. Brilliant player. Yeah, and the goalkeeper got a hand on it as well, so they were a little too close for comfort, but still getting that 1-1 puts Real Madrid in the fifth place. You're in the top 12 standing. Barcelona, Lyon, as we mentioned, Manchester United, maybe the surprise of this Women's Champions League, and Chelsea, of course, following close behind Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg and Arsenal all the way there in 11th place.

44:14UEFA Women's Champions League final is underway. Oh, it deflects in. Barcelona ahead within 35 seconds. It could be three. It is 3-0. And it's 4-0. And Chelsea were absolutely shredded. Barcelona are simply irresistible. What a semi-final we have on our hands.

44:41Caetano! For Alexia, brilliant. Claudio Fina! Oh my goodness! How good was that? Barcelona blow Chelsea away. Once again, the Spanish giants curtail Chelsea's European dreams.

45:03History on Barcelona's side just kept repeating and repeating and repeating itself, whether it was a semifinal, whether it was a final, those semifinals, by the way, on aggregate because, yeah, it wasn't an 8-2 result in just one game. But speaking of poking the bear, we know that it was for Barcelona, but maybe this could serve as motivation here for Chelsea. Leanne, I know you were itching to talk about this one because they'll meet again here next week, Thursday the 20th in the Women's Champions League. What sort of game are you expecting, especially after a Chelsea team that's been playing with so much confidence as of late?

45:42Yeah, I mean, I can't wait for this one. You know, the new format allows us to see these types of matchups, as I mentioned earlier, early in the season. And I think now is the time for Chelsea. It's a psychological thing. Ali will tell you, sometimes you go up against teams and they always get the better of you. But every single game, Barcelona have been the better team. I think you look at this season, Team selection from Sonja Bonpastor. We saw in the game, you know, Lucy Bronze is now playing centre-back. Mini Bright didn't even come into the game. Ellie Carpenter was playing down the right-hand side and she's had a fantastic start to her Chelsea career.

46:11I think she's been one of the best players in the WSL this season. So I'll be intrigued to see the team selection going into this game. And you need leaders. Ali mentioned earlier about Leah Williamson being missing from Arsenal. Lucy Bronze, those types of players are back. So I can't wait for this one. I still think Barcelona just have the edge. I think mentally, physically, tactically, individually. But I think Chelsea have to hope that Barcelona have an off day and they don't come along very often, do they? It seems to only come along in the final against Arsenal and it doesn't come along very often.

46:42So Chelsea have to hope for that. But I'm really excited for this one, as you can tell. Yeah, we're right there with you, Leanne. So excited to see this matchup. But I want to go back to the mentality that Leanne was mentioning. Will this be Chelsea's biggest obstacle when facing someone like Barcelona? Yes, I do think so, because they're playing against one of the best teams, if not the best in European football or in the world, I can say. But this is one of the best rivalries in the world. These two club teams and obviously Chelsea's in a different place this year because of the additions and also everyone's back from injury.

47:15And then, you know, Barca have the history and they have they have the trophies to prove it. So they've always performed well on on the highest stage. And I think this is going to be an exciting game. It's going to be a battle. But I'm excited to see the new Chelsea, so to speak, where you have an Alyssa Thompson, you have Sam Kerr coming back to the squad. You have Beaver Jones, also healthy and fit. And they have a full squad. So, you know, Sonia Bonpastor has a plethora of players to choose from. Now it's just what Liam was saying, how difficult it will be for her to get the players out on the team sheet.

47:54But this is always going to be an exciting match. And, you know, Chelsea's going to make Barcelona work. They're not just going to sit back in and around the 18 and park the bus. They're actually going to go after it. And, you know, you have players like Haterina McCarley, you have players like Alyssa Thompson who are going to run at your back line and make you work as well. So it's going to be really interesting and exciting for all of us to watch. Yeah, it will be so exciting to watch, no doubt. I mean, Barcelona, obviously, they're very much used to playing these type of games, especially against Chelsea here, Leanne.

48:26But what can Chelsea do to maybe control a little bit more of their destiny, not only on the mental side of the game, but tactically speaking, Sonia Bompastor may be one of her tougher games that she'll have to obviously find a way to break down this Barcelona side. Yeah, I think it'd be interesting to see if Patrick is available in that game as well, because I think she makes a massive difference. Ali made a really great point about Alyssa Thompson. She's one of those players that Barcelona haven't faced yet. She's fearless. And I think her directness will really, really help this Chelsea team.

48:57If she is in the lineup, I have a feeling that she will start within this game. And I think Chelsea just need to, you know, not park the bus. As Ali just said, they won't do that. But then they don't want to leave spaces in behind because this Barcelona team are so ruthless. Like they literally go in for the kill. They snip a little bit of kind of like, there's no sentiments with them. In other words, they are ruthless. Anyone that's had the opportunity to see them in real life, they are just unbelievable. You know, the relentlessness of them, the ruthlessness in front of goal. And I think Chelsea need to bring their game.

49:27If Chelsea can bring their game, they can get the job done. But I still feel at this moment in time, I put my money on Barcelona for this one. Yeah, I think they dominate control, like Leanne was mentioning. And then obviously Chelsea can challenge physically. But you're right. They have to be careful in the spaces in behind and stay compact and connected because you don't want to also get beat in between the lines as well, which Barcelona is so good at doing. Every pass is active or, you know, the combination play in and around the box is very, very unpredictable. So, you know, Leanne hit it right on the head.

50:01Like if Chelsea can come and bring their game and then showcase some of their new talent, I think they could have a chance. Yeah, showcase coming up next week with match day four for the Women's Champions League. I get so excited, obviously, for that matchup. but we have a plethora of great games to Juve. Facing Lyonese, Juve, who had a tough game today against Atletico Madrid. Wolfsburg facing Manchester United. Arsenal, Real Madrid, too. A very interesting one there. And Chelsea and Barcelona. We have that circled a million times on our calendar. PSG also facing Bayern Munich. All right, let's take it into our top five now.

50:44Cristina Martín Prieto here for Benfica. Leanne, she would take it practically all the way. Yeah, it's a fantastic strike. I mean, great strength, but no back lift on this one. And just pings it, comes inside. There's only one thing on her mind. Similar to Carmona coming in from the left, the goal we saw. It's such a brilliant, brilliant strike. Yeah, so impressive to kick things off. Number four, this was also great. You give her a teeny tiny bit of space, Ali, and Mariona Calente will say thank you. She was my Ballon d 'Or winner this year, actually, to be honest. But Caldente, what a player.

51:22What a strike. Just the technique. Incredible. That for number four. Let's take it into our number three in this Juventus game. Solengodo. Oh, come on, Leanne. What is that? Lovely free kick. No back lift. And these are the ones you practice on the training ground every single day. But the opportunity to be able to get that technique up and over the wall, brilliant strike. And the ball just spins so beautifully. Let's take it to number two, a thing of beauty, Olga Carmona, Ali. Yes, I used to do this all the time back in my day. What an incredible strike. Obviously couldn't get a win out of this game, but she had such a good impact in this goal, side netting.

52:09And a cool goalkeeper had absolutely no chance. That was our number two. Our number one is for Valerenga. Steen Brecken. Leanne, how about this one? Yeah, lovely goal. And a very shocked result. I think a lot of people expected Roma to win this one. But I love the little nutmeg. Directness to get towards goal. It's a fantastic strike. And to finish off this type of ball mastery and trickery with a goal, it's a thing of beauty. Fantastic strike. And fair play to Valerenga. I have to ask Ali, what were the defenders doing? They could have taken out their phone. Yeah, they look like some cheese out there.

52:46Holes everywhere. Yeah, it really was tough to see. But listen, a match day three, that left a lot. We're hoping that Vivian Miramachu is doing well. We know she had a tough knock there during the match. A bit of a scary moment. But obviously that is the top priority to see these players fully fit and ready to go. What a great show. I love talking about the Women's Champions League, especially if it's with our Leanne Sanderson and our Allie Krieger. And thank you so much for hanging out with us. Can't wait for match day four of the Women's Champions League. We will see you next time.
