What happened
It was Arsenal Women's first trip to Camp Nou and the sides' first meeting since the 2025 final, which Arsenal won. Barcelona pressed for most of the night — Graham Hansen hit a post and Misa Rodríguez made a string of saves — but Maanum's rebound put Arsenal ahead, and only Graham Hansen's curled finish, just before the hour, beat the visitors' defence. Neither side could find a winner late on.
