Lyon FC has secured a vital victory against Arsenal in the Women’s Champions League semi-final on May 3, 2026. This win marks a significant return to form under owner Michele Kang.
As of early Tuesday, Lyon overturned a 2-1 deficit from the first leg. They won the second leg decisively, highlighting their strength in women’s football.
Lyon are currently enjoying one of their best runs of the campaign. They have recorded three wins in their last five matches, including recent victories over Auxerre and Paris Saint-Germain.
Key statistics:
- Lyon has won eight Champions League titles historically.
- Their last triumph was in 2022.
- Wendie Renard converted a penalty after a VAR intervention during the match against Arsenal.
- Pablo Pagis has scored 10 goals this season, attracting interest from Lyon and Lille.
Officials have not confirmed whether Lyon will pursue further signings in the transfer market. Lorient has set an asking price of €25 million for Pablo Pagis amid interest from Lyon.
The Champions League has historically been Lyon’s playground, with their eight titles an unrivaled point of pride. A record ninth European crown this month would be their first under Kang’s ownership.
Fans and analysts are optimistic about Lyon’s trajectory as they continue to assert their dominance in women’s football.
