O Arsenal voltou ao topo da Europa neste sábado (24) ao conquistar o título da UEFA Women’s Champions League pela segunda vez em sua história. Em uma final emocionante realizada em Lisboa, a equipe inglesa derrotou o Barcelona por 1 a 0, com gol da atacante Stina Blackstenius aos 29 minutos do segundo tempo. O resultado encerrou um jejum de 18 anos, o último título havia sido em 2007, e garantiu ao clube londrino o posto de único britânico bicampeão europeu na categoria feminina.
A conquista foi recebida com entusiasmo pela imprensa do Reino Unido, que destacou o feito como um divisor de águas para o futebol feminino inglês. “Um triunfo com cara de revolução”, escreveu o The Guardian, que acompanhou a final lance a lance. Já a Sky Sports ressaltou a liderança da capitã Kim Little, que, aos 34 anos, ergueu a taça visivelmente emocionada e foi homenageada pelas companheiras de equipe.
A técnica Renée Slegers, que assumiu o comando há apenas quatro meses, foi apontada como peça-chave para a vitória. Suas decisões táticas, especialmente nas substituições, foram determinantes para conter o ímpeto ofensivo do Barcelona, atual campeão da competição. “A inteligência estratégica de Slegers transformou um bom time em campeão europeu”, analisou o The Times.
O pós-jogo também foi marcado por momentos de emoção e descontração. Jogadoras como Leah Williamson e Katie McCabe não esconderam o entusiasmo durante entrevistas ao vivo e acabaram usando expressões consideradas impróprias, o que levou a emissora TNT Sports a se desculpar. Alessia Russo, uma das destaques da campanha, se emocionou ao afirmar que o grupo “nunca deixou de acreditar”.
Além do título, a vitória tem sido interpretada como símbolo de um novo momento para o futebol feminino na Inglaterra. “É mais do que uma taça, é uma mensagem: estamos prontos para competir no mais alto nível, de igual para igual”, escreveu oTalkSport.

‘People can write what they want’ – Norris responds to critics with ‘perfect’ Monaco
Lando Norris says his critics can "write what they want" after a "perfect" Monaco Grand Prix weekend, where he converted pole position into victory.Norris returned to winning ways for the first time since the season-opener in Australia by fending off Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri, who is now just three points ahead of his McLaren team-mate ahead of next weekend's Spanish Grand Prix. The British driver was particularly proud of his qualifying performance after openly struggling with his one-lap form and coming under scrutiny for not executing under pressure."People can write what they want. It's not up to me. People have their own opinions, they can do all of those things," said Norris."Thing is, none of them are true, 99 per cent of the time. So, it's all c**p. I don't mind what people write as long as I know […]
Jack Grealish exclusion from Manchester City’s final game ‘not personal’ – Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola has said Jack Grealish’s exclusion from Manchester City’s final matchday squad of the campaign was “nothing personal”.Grealish, 29, was left out of the squad for City’s two-goal victory at Fulham on Sunday to conclude their 2024-25 campaign.Grealish has started in just seven Premier League matches for City this term and was an unused substitute in last week’s FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.AdvertisementSince January, the England international has made just one league start for Guardiola’s side — the 2-0 win against Leicester City in April.“Don’t ask me about Jack, who said I’m not happy with Jack?,” Guardiola asked when questioned on whether he was unhappy with Grealish.“Rico (Lewis) was not selected, (James) McAtee was exceptional against Aston Villa and Wolves, why not ask me about McAtee?“I have to get rid of six players last game and five […]
F1 drivers criticise new Monaco rules: ‘It backfired’
Formula 1 drivers were critical of the sport's new regulations for the Monaco Grand Prix after a chaotic but controversial Sunday, with Carlos Sainz insisting the shake-up "backfired" and Max Verstappen equating it to "Mario Kart".In a bid to improve racing at what is by far the calendar's tightest track, the governing FIA introduced a unique new rule for this year's event which required each driver to race with three different tyre sets, essentially mandating two pit-stops. But while there was plenty more action in the pit-lane - from the very first lap - there were still few changes to the expected finishing order as Lando Norris won from pole, while controversial tactics were also deployed by teams.Knowing overtaking was all but impossible, Racing Bulls and Williams both instructed one of their drivers to drastically drop their pace, backing up […]
Ana Thaís esquece Estêvão, do Palmeiras, e sinaliza melhor jogador no Brasil hoje
Estêvão, atacante do Palmeiras - Divulgação/Cesar Greco Ana Thaís não tem dúvidas de que Gerson e Arrascaeta estão em um patamar diferenciado no Brasil. Antes da partida entre Palmeiras e Flamengo, a jornalista teceu elogios aos dois atletas do time carioca. “Gerson, não tem nem dúvida. Ele tem uma influência de jogo absurda. O Arrascaeta também tem uma influência enorme neste time do Flamengo, tem muitos bons jogadores, mas ele consegue ser o melhor de todos e tem jogado em alto nível no Brasil pelo menos uns sete anos”, declarou a comentarista da Globo. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Na ‘disputa’ entre Arrascaeta e Estêvão, Ana Thaís evidentemente reconheceu a capacidade técnica do futuro atleta do Chelsea, mas acredita que o camisa 10 do Flamengo leva vantagem não somente pela temporada artilheira, mas por ter uma carreira mais sólida que o jovem palmeirense.
