Lyon Defeats Arsenal to Reach Women's Champions League Final

Lyon edged Arsenal 3-1 in the second leg of the Women's Champions League semi-final, achieving a 4-3 aggregate victory to reach the final. The match took place at Groupama Stadium, where German forward Jule Brand scored the crucial goal in the 86th minute.

Initially, there was a VAR check to determine if Brand was offside when she received the pass, but she was deemed onside. Lyon's victory was marked by a penalty awarded for a foul on Lott Wubben-Moi, with Wendi Renard's first attempt saved by Arsenal's goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, but she scored on the retake.

Lyon took the lead in the 36th minute when Kadidiat Diani scored from a corner. Arsenal's Alessia Russo equalized, but Brand's late goal secured Lyon's place in the final, where they will compete for their ninth European title against either Bayern Munich or Barcelona on May 23.
