Aitana Bonmati expressed surprise at Arsenalâs progression to the Women's Champions League final, acknowledging their remarkable comeback against Lyon. Barcelona, aiming to defend their title, faces Arsenal in Lisbon. This matchup marks Arsenal's second final, with their previous championship win in 2007. Bonmati highlighted the significance of playing a team they haven't faced in several years, framing the final as a fresh challenge. Arsenal's victory over Lyon was notable as it was the first instance they won a knockout tie after losing the first leg, showcasing their resilience.
"For me, it was a surprise, Arsenal reaching the final. They absolutely deserve it, because scoring four goals against Lyon in the second leg is not easy at all."
"It's a final with a different feel because we've never played Arsenal in a final. It's been a few years since we even played them."
