As expected, the Champions League semi-final first leg between Arsenal and OL Lyonnes will be played on April 26. Kick-off at 4:30 p.m.

This is a poster that will keep us in suspense at the end of April. More than six months after OL Lyonnes’ previous visit to London to challenge Arsenal (1-2 on October 7, 2025), the two teams will face each other again on Sunday April 26. UEFA has finally formalized the date of the Champions League semi-final first leg between the two clubs.

An expected slot, since Mikel’s Gunners Arteta host Newcastle the day before, the 25th at 6:30 p.m., at the Emirates. The match will start at 4:30 p.m. The following week, on May 2, it will be the Lyonnaises’ turn to welcome the Londoniennes (3 p.m.)*. A duel which will remind us of the 2025 semi-final won by the English after a demonstration at Décines on the return leg (1-4).

A revenge for Wendie Renard and her teammates? The parallel is necessarily tempting. In the meantime, here are the Jonatan players Giráldez notified of their schedule after the truce. We will have to face Dijon on April 22, then, between the double confrontation against Arsenal, go to Nantes on Wednesday April 29. A copious menu which will undoubtedly require turnover, as the Spanish coach has always done this season.
