It's halfway through the group stage of the Champions League at least in the women's competition. So it's already a question of early progress, even for one of the best teams on the island. For many in London on Thursday, the only question that matters is how big the victory will be this time. Arsenal's biggest rival is of course Bayern, but Juventus and Valerenga are seen as opponents that must be beaten. No sooner and that's exactly what happened in the first part of the group stage. Arsenal held up well against the Munich team, with a 111 score at halftime, but the final score was 2-5. Five goals conceded, that doesn't happen very often. It probably wasn't easy for the team to pick themselves up again as quickly as possible. That's exactly what had to happen in order to quickly immerse themselves in a different world of results. First they beat Valerenga 4-1, then the trip to Turin brought a 4-0 win. The Gunners were rehabilitated, but need to get another reassuring six points before they face Bayern again. Advancing will be quite difficult for guests from Juve ladies, who knocked out Paris St. Germain in qualifying, despite the fact that the competition began with a three-pointer. Against Valerenga, definitely the biggest underdog in the group, they won 1-0 a result that usually suits the Juve team very well. The next match was against Bayern and they lost ultimately 0-2. The best team in Italy has eight wins and two draws in the league, but the competition there is also a little easier.
