What's happening with Lyon
teams.ie Editorial TeamArsenal's Women's Champions League title defence has been brutally ended by Lyon, with Irish captain Katie McCabe and her Gunners teammates suffering a devastating 3-1 second-leg defeat at Groupama Stadium to lose 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-final. Despite Arsenal clawing back a 2-1 first-leg advantage, Lyon staged a commanding comeback to reach the final in Oslo on 23 May, where they'll face Barcelona after the Spanish giants dispatched Bayern Munich. Manager Renee Slegers had no complaints about the defeat but the loss represents a bitter blow for McCabe and Arsenal's European hopes after they'd come from behind to claim that crucial first-leg victory in England.
