78 m. ago Made at Arsenal, forged with joy: Chloe Kelly the double Euro champion

Sharing Champions League success with former academy teammates made it even sweeter for revitalised forwardChloe Kelly can’t stop grinning. It almost looks painful to hold your mouth so wide, but this is a pain she will willingly bear and keep bearing. Four months ago the forward was on the ropes, her love of football gone and her chance of making England’s Euro 2025 squad slim. An impasse with Manchester City meant she had started one game all season and, despite their staggering injury crisis, it seemed there was no way back. Now, she is a European champion at club and country level, after a deadline-day loan to Arsenal was forced, in part, by a bold decision to go public with the way she was feeling on social media.“I was ready to take a break from football completely,” Kelly says. “I’m just grateful. As soon as I stepped foot in this club, I found happiness. Renée Slegers, as soon as she got on the phone to me, to give me the opportunity to represent this badge, I wanted to repa...

16 h. ago Women’s Champions League triumph will redefine how Arsenal see themselves | Jonathan Liew

Gunners’ victory was built on a multi-layered courage that respected but was not overawed by Barcelona or by fatalismThere is always a little more time than you think. A red number 7 blinks across the pitch from the fourth official’s board. Seven minutes of injury time: it’s a lot. Against Barcelona, it’s an age. Against this Barcelona, in this heat, in this game, it may as well be all of eternity.But you push through. You pace yourself. Beth Mead goes down under a challenge; there’s 30 seconds right there. Kim Little rolls the ball up the left touchline to no one: eight seconds. Daphne van Domselaar hesitates over a free-kick, squeezing out those seconds like drops from a towel. You push through because whatever happens in these seven minutes, however those minutes make you suffer, seven minutes is still less than 18 years. Continue reading...
