Arsenal seek momentum against Benfica after derby victory
Arsenal face Benfica in the Women’s Champions League hoping to build on a 2-1 north London derby win over Tottenham. The result ended a frustrating run and could help revive a disappointing season, with Arsenal sixth in the Women’s Super League.

They let a 2-0 lead slip to draw away to Paris FC last month, leaving them short of a perfect start. Head coach Renee Slegers thanked supporters and said the Tottenham win showed the connection between the team and its fans.
