After years out in the cold, Arsenal Women could return the glory days to north London as they face Barcelona in the Champions League final. This match will be staged at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon. Arsenal Women are here courtesy of a return leg comeback against Lyon in the semis, while Barcelona had a straightforward, dominant win against Chelsea. We have below a prediction for the match.
Arsenal will be on the hunt for a second Champions League title, having been starved of the gong since winning the first in 2007. The Gunners have not returned to the final since. Barcelona, on the other hand, are coming here seeking a fourth title and will be buoyed by winning the Liga F.
Arsenal and Barcelona have met four times before, all in the Champions League, and each side managed two wins. Barcelona are coming into this match on a 10-match unbeaten run.

Arsenal - FC Barcelona: Form Analysis
Arsenal was the first English team to win the Women’s Champions League, back in 2007, and it has taken them almost two decades to return to the final.
They had to sweat for this spot after losing 2-1 at home to Lyon in the first leg. The Gunners staged one of the most audacious of comebacks in France, winning 4-1 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate.
Arsenal wrapped up their domestic season in second spot, and much of that was down to the genius of manager Reene Slegers, who took over after a poor start to the season.
Barcelona are playing in their sixth Champoions League final.
Facing Barcelona will prove a tough outing for the Gunners. The Spaniards are straight from winning their domestic league title. The Spaniards outplayed Chelsea, one of England’s strongest teams, in the semis, winning 8-2 on aggregate.
This Barca side is generational; it houses some of the biggest names in the business. They will be here gunning for a fourth Champions League title and are unbeaten in 10 matches ahead of the game in Lisbon.
Barcelona hasn't tasted defeat in nine Champions League matches.

Arsenal & FC Barcelona Squad Analysis
Arsenal and Slegers have all the weaponry they may require for this match. The one player they need in shape is Maria Caldentey. A former Barcelona player, Caldentey needs no more inspiration for this match.
She scored in four of Arsenal’s last five Champions League matches and has eight goals in the competition. At the same time, the Gunners have to be astute in defence, to stop the devastating Barca attacks.
This is where Emily Fox comes in. The American has done well in the right-back position plus has good links up in attack.
Barcelona’s Aitana and Patri have the most assists (5) in the Champions League.
Barcelona are among the most potent women’s teams in Europe at the moment. Claudia Pina and Ewa Pajor have destroyed many defenses in Europe this season, and Arsenal will have to be at their best here.
In the Champions League, the two account for a combined 17 goals for Barcelona. Both were instrumental in the destruction of Chelsea in the semis, notching five of the eight goals.
Aitana Bonmati has also chipped in well when needed. She can be a goal threat and a creator too.

Our Arsenal vs FC Barcelona Prediction
Arsenal carry the potential to shock their opponents, but we feel that may not work against Barcelona. They’ve struggled a bit in Champions League matches they aren’t hosting, and this will be a very tricky one. What works best for them is that they rarely fail to score.
In the last 10 in Europe, they failed just once. Here they face Barcelona, an opponent they lost against in the last two meetings. Barcelona has nine straight wins in the Champions League but struggled with clean sheets. Our prediction for Arsenal v Barcelona is for Barcelona to win and both teams to score.
Arsenal vs FC Barcelona - Other Interesting Predictions
Maria Caldentey to score
The Gunners have a weapon in former Barcelona midfielder Maria Caldentey. The midfielder knows when to pounce and how. She will also know this is an opponent to gain satisfaction from scoring against.
An experienced head, with three titles, all won at Barcelona, Caldentey will be playing in a Champions League final for the sixth time. Her goals have been key so far, and she will surely be a handful for Barca; we are backing her to score as our second prediction.
