A historic night in London, Arsenal’s encounter with Vfl Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League Semi-Final perfectly showcased the quality of women’s football to a record-breaking sellout Emirates Stadium.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal went into the tie level on aggregate, with goals from Rafaelle and Stina Blackstenius capping a professional response to going down 2-0 in the opening 30 minutes of the first leg fixture at the Volkswagen-Arena last Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an emphatic result against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals which confirmed Arsenals tie against Wolfsburg, the club were quick to make tickets available for fans, pushing UEFA to confirm the fixture date and taking to social media to make all fans of Arsenal aware of the occassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move reflected the ever-increasing support Arsenal has given to the women’s side, with Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham<\/a> recently revealing the club’s ambition to have the women’s team permanently share the Emirates Stadium with the men’s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early advocators for women’s football, Arsenal are England’s most decorated women’s side with 15 league titles, 14 FA Cups, 6 League Cups, 10 National League Cups, and FA Community Shields. The Gunners were hoping to reach their first Champions League final since being crowned champions in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
