Christiane Endler during Arsenal – OL (AFP)
This Sunday (4:30 p.m.), the Champions League will offer one of these huge posters for which it has the secret. Reigning European champions Arsenal host OL Lyonnes in the first leg of the semi-final at the Emirates Stadium. Find all the practical information: pre-match, schedule and TV broadcast.
Pre-match:
The objective is clear for Selma’s teammates Youth : find the final of the Champions League, two years after the one lost against the FC Barcelona (2-0). Jonathan Giraldez is no longer the coach of the Catalans, he is now on the Lyon bench. For his first season, he crushed the regular phase of the Premier League with his team, qualified for the final of the Coupe de France against PSG and finds himself in the semi-final of the Champions League against Arsenal. All the lights are green for the Lyonnaises, even if the expression is perhaps poorly chosen, ready to do battle in North London, where they are used to performing.
Giraldez and its staff will be able to count on their entire workforce, including Inès Benyaiah and Tabitha Helloexits facing Dijon Wednesday (4-0), even if a doubt still remains concerning these players who carried out the pre-match session indoors and not on the field.
The Londoners are also in good shape. With their new status, they met expectations and are present in the last four of the premier competition. They finished fifth in the league phase, having notably lost their first match against OL Lyonnes (1-2). In the quarter-final, they overcame the Chelsea by Sonia Bompastor (3-1, 1-0). The return match, which took place on April 1, remains their last match in official competition.
What time is Arsenal – OL Lyonnes playing?
Kick-off will take place this Sunday, April 26 at 4:30 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium. Desiree Blanco will be at the whistle of this shock. This is the first time that the Swiss will referee the Lyonnaises.
On which channel to watch Arsenal – OL Lyonnes?
This meeting will be broadcast unencrypted on the L’Equipe channel and on Disney+, the official broadcaster. The quarter-final return of the Rhodaniennes against Wolfsburg (4-0 ap) had also achieved the channel’s best audience for a women’s football match (632,000 spectators on average).
