Barcelona were too good for Arsenal
Barcelona showed they are not going to give up their European crown easily as they completely dismantled Arsenal to the tune of a 4-1 victory on Tuesday night.
The early stages were completely dominated by Barça, who controlled possession and turned that into plenty of good chances. It was just a matter of time before the hosts scored, and it was the excellent Mariona Caldentey who did exactly that on the half-hour mark as she tapped home from a rebounded shot.
Alexia Putellas made it two just before half-time, finishing off an excellent run from Asisat Oshoala to give the reigning champions an imposing lead at the interval.
The third goal came within minutes of the second half beginning. Oshoala got the goal she deserved as she buried a one-on-one with real composure.
A triple change to their forward line saw Arsenal wrestle some control of the game and after nearly grabbing an equaliser through Caitlin Foord, they did get one from Frida Manuum, who bundled home from a Tobin Heath free kick.#sportsNews
