Zinsberger makes history: Arsenal wins Champions League 1-0!

Estádio José Alvalade, Lissabon, Portugal - Manuela Zinsberger won the UEFA women's champions League with Arsenal. In the final, Arsenal won 1-0 against FC Barcelona in the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on May 24, 2025. This marks a historical moment because Zinsberger is the first Austrian to win this prestigious title. The decisive goal was scored by STina Blackstenius in the 74th minute and secured Arsenal the second WCL title after 2007.

In the entire game, Barcelona was dominant and was able to put pressure on the arsenal defense, but they failed to score a goal. An early own goal of Irene Paredes was revoked in the 22nd minute. Frida Maanum had a promising chance that was thwarted by Barcelona's goalkeeper Catalina Coll in the 28th minute. Claudia Pina hit the crossbar and Ewa Pajor in the 49th minute only unhappily failed with a header in the 73rd minute. Alessia Russeo from Arsenal could not accommodate the ball in the 72nd minute.

The way to the title

Arsenal had impressively played against another strong team in the semifinals, with Zinsberger actively participating in the first leg, but had to take a seat on the bench in the final. Trainer Renee Slegers decided to set up Daphne van Domselaar as a goalkeeper who justified the trust with an error -free performance. Arsenal ended the Barcelona reign by this victory, which had won the last two editions of the Champions League.
