Lesión de Ben White: Arsenal pierde un defensor clave

(2:05)Janusz Michallik breaks down Arsenal's issues as they fall nine points behind Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. (2:05)Arsenal have suffered another injury setback after Ben White underwent a minor knee operation earlier this week, sources have told ESPN.The timescale of his return is unclear and dependent on the success of the surgery but the 27-year-old is set to miss multiple matches. One source has suggested there are fears White could be sidelined for several weeks but there is no confirmation at this stage.Arsenal face a busy return to action following the international break with Nottingham Forest at home on Nov. 23 before a midweek trip to Sporting CP and then a visit to West Ham.White has been carrying a problem for several weeks with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta explaining earlier this month that he had "a little issue, so we have to protect him."With White opting not to make himself available for England, the break from first-team football afforded Arsenal an opportunity to address the problem which has limited his involvement this season.The defender was unable to start key games at Manchester City and Newcastle and did not feature at all against Paris Saint-Germain in October.After Sunday's 1-1 draw at Chelsea, Arteta admitted he was "praying" to avoid further injury problems after being without several players at times this season including substantial lay-offs for captain Martin Ødegaard, Mikel Merino and Jurriën Timber.Arsenal remain without Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney due to injury. ,Arsenal enfrenta una serie de lesiones, con la última de Ben White que podría dejarlo fuera varias semanas, afectando el desempeño del equipo en próximos partidos.

Deco Descarta Grandes Fichajes para el FC Barcelona

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. playFlick insists VAR made the 'wrong decision' after Lewandowski offside (1:21)Hansi Flick reacts to the VAR controversy in Barcelona's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad in LaLiga. (1:21)Nov 14, 2024, 07:11 AM ETBarcelona sporting director Deco has given an indication that his club is not looking to make any big signings in the upcoming transfer windows.Under coach Hansi Flick, Barça lead LaLiga and are on course to qualify automatically for the round of 16 of the Champions League.Deco played down reports that Barça are closely monitoring Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Sporting CP star Viktor Gyökeres.He told El Mundo Deportivo: "First we have to know whether Haaland is what we want for the future. We don't know that now. At the moment we don't want any 'nine.' We have Robert [Lewandowski.] We are not planning anything with any 'nine.' It's not a priority because we have to focus on this season."Gyokeres was instrumental in Sporting CP winning the Portuguese league last term and has delivered 23 goals in 18 club appearances this season."Gyokeres is a good player," Deco said. "He has been scoring goals for some time in Portugal. We know him as we know others but it's not a priority for us right now."When the time comes to make a decision and I have to make it because I am the one at the club, we will consider the options. But I don't think it's the right time to talk about any player."Barça have the best attack in LaLiga, with their veteran forward Robert Lewandowski leading the scoring charts with 14 goals.Lewandowski, 36, has a contract with Barça through June 2026 with an option to extend it for a further season.Barcelona sporting director Deco has played down reports that the club are monitoring Manchester City's Erling Haaland. James Gill - Danehouse/Getty Images"I think it's very difficult to find a striker like Robert nowadays," Deco said of the Poland captain. "There are one or two of this level. Maybe Haaland or another one. There are not so many of this level available. But we are not going to get hung up on finding any striker now because we are going to focus first on what Robert can do. I surely think he is happy to be here. He is a winner and if we have a big season I think he will want to stay."We want Robert to continue to be happy, to score goals and to stay at least one more season."Deco, meanwhile, confirmed Barça are no longer interested in Spanish forward Nico Williams. Nico turned down a move to the Camp Nou in the summer to remain at Athletic Club."We were interested in Nico during the summer," Deco said. "We tried, but after that, the player made a decision and life goes on. The moment the player shows that he is not interested in coming, we don't talk about it anymore."We brought in Dani Olmo, who was the priority because we didn't have this player in the squad."As for Barça's backline, Deco says his team is covered.The club already brought in Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny last month after losing starting goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen to a serious knee injury.Szczęsny joined as a free agent and signed a contract until the end of the season.Amid ongoing rumours that Barça are interested in FC Porto keeper Diogo Costa for next summer, Deco said: "Marc still has three years left on his contract. He is young for a goalkeeper, 32 years old, and we have to focus on him recovering well and coming back well. If I was Diogo [Costa], I don't know if I would join Barcelona to be an understudy."Deco has also ruled out an approach for Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah.Tah, whose contract with Bayer expires at the end of the season, will be able to negotiate with other teams once the transfer window opens."In this case we are not planning any signings now," Deco said. "We have [Ronald] Araújo, who will be back, [Andreas] Christensen, Eric [García], [Pau] Cubarsí and Iñigo [Martínez]. The time will come when we will plan what we are going to do in the future but we are not going to make a decision now." ,Deco, director deportivo del Barcelona, descarta fichajes importantes.

Impacto de la UEFA Nations League en la Copa del Mundo

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. The new-look UEFA Nations League (UNL) group stage is coming to a close, with much more at stake than you might think. In fact, you might say you need a degree in football administration to fully understand the machinations.For the original editions, the Nations League was mostly about qualifying for the finals, plus promotion and relegation between the four levels. But the 2024-25 format sees more teams through to the knockout format, plus added promotion/relegation playoffs. And for the first time the final positions will have some impact on the qualifying draw for the next FIFA World Cup.With two rounds of games to be played, we look at who's in contention and what it all means in the race to reach United States, Mexico and Canada in the summer of 2026.Stick with us...England's Jude Bellingham battles with Greece's Petros Mantalos. Gene Medi/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesHow does the UEFA Nations League work?There are four "divisions": League A, B, C (with four groups of four nations) and D (with two groups of three). League A is the strongest and League D the weakest.Qualifying for the quarterfinals and finalsIn League A, the top two teams in each of the four groups will go through to two-legged quarterfinals, to be played in March. The winners of these ties will take part in the finals, with one-legged semifinals and a final in June.Promotion and relegationThe countries who win League B and C are automatically promoted to League A and B respectively. Those who finish bottom of League A and B are directly relegated to League B and C.There is some good news for countries who are relegated from League A in this edition. Being in League B for the 2026 UNL, they will be in a better position to claim a playoff for a place for Euro 2028.The winners of the two League D groups are promoted, while the two teams in League C who finish bottom with the worst record go down.PlayoffsNew for this edition is promotion/relegation playoffs, also be to be held in March. Teams who are third in League A will play two-legged ties against second-placed nations from League B. Likewise, third in League B will face second in League C. The winners will play in the higher league.The two nations who are bottom in League C with the best record will face a promotion/relegation playoff against runners-up of League D.Why does it matter for World Cup qualifying?There's a handful of reasons and, remarkably, it's more complicated than the UEFA Nations League itself.World Cup qualifying draw seedingTeams will be drawn into 12 groups of four or five nations. Groups of five will begin qualifying in March or June. Groups of four won't play any qualifiers until September. Why's that? Because fixture slots need to be free for countries to play those UNL playoffs and knockout ties.The eight teams in the UNL quarterfinals will all need free dates in March, with the four finalists also requiring June to be empty. As the World Cup qualifying draw is on Dec. 13, FIFA won't know who needs both March and June free. FIFA has therefore given UEFA permission to put all eight UNL quarterfinalists in Pot 1 of the World Cup draw. If you finish in the top two of UNL League A, you're seeded and could get a more favourable route to the next World Cup.Pot 1 will have 12 nations, and is completed by the four countries with the best FIFA World Ranking who aren't yet seeded. England, who are in League B for this edition of the UNL, are effectively guaranteed one slot as they are ranked fourth in the world. As it stands now, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria would take the other three ranking slots.For all other pots, places are allocated purely by FIFA World Ranking, and results this week could influence that. For instance, Turkey could take a slot in Pot 1, while Scotland and Norway are in Pot 3 but could lift themselves into Pot 2 with good results.POT 1POT 2POT 3POT 4POT 5GermanyAustriaNorwayIsraelLithuaniaSpainUkraineScotlandBulgariaMoldovaItalyTurkeySloveniaLuxembourgMaltaPortugalSwedenRepublic of IrelandBelarusAndorraFranceWalesAlbaniaArmeniaGibraltarDenmarkPolandFinlandKosovoLiechtensteinCroatiaHungaryGeorgiaKazakhstanSan MarinoNetherlandsSerbiaNorth MacedoniaAzerbaijanEnglandSlovakiaIcelandEstoniaBelgiumGreeceNorthern IrelandCyprusSwitzerlandRomaniaBosnia and HerzegovinaLatviaDenmarkCzechiaMontenegroFaroe IslandsPots will change with results this weekBut wait... Depending on how many teams need to play promotion and relegation playoffs, FIFA may have to juggle the pots slightly. For instance, if there are too many teams in Pot 3 who need to have March free, then a swap with Pot 2 or 4 might be needed. That's probably an issue for another day...One more complication? As the UNL playoffs don't take place until March, eight of the 12 World Cup groups won't know their full lineup until then. Four of the groups with four teams will get "winners of playoff tie," as they must be free for March and June. Four others get "losers of playoff tie." Only four groups will be complete as of Dec. 13.Playoff places for UNL group winnersThe 12 winners of the UEFA World Cup qualifying groups will go direct to the World Cup. The 12 runners-up enter playoffs.There are also four playoff slots for the best UNL group winners who do not finish in the top two of a World Cup group. What does that mean? Well, the UNL League A winners are very unlikely to need a World Cup playoff, which means winning a League B group will almost certainly give you a playoff, and being one of the best League C group winners gives a great chance.There are 16 teams in the playoffs, creating four paths with one-legged semifinals and a final, to be played in March 2026.UEFA and FIFA certainly know how to make this complicated.playMusiala admits he has 'never looked back' after picking Germany over EnglandJamal Musiala says he doesn't regret his decision to play for Germany and is hopeful ahead of the World Cup.What's at stake in the Nations League this weekThis section will be updated through the final matches until the end of the group phase on Nov. 19LEAGUE A1Portugal (10 points) need one point to secure a place in the quarterfinals, while Scotland (1) face an uphill struggle to avoid relegation to League B.The real battle is for second and third, with Croatia (7) ahead of Poland (4).Croatia have the superior head-to-head record so can book a top-two slot with a draw in Scotland on Friday. That will likely leave Poland facing a relegation playoff, though they could yet be overtaken by Scotland on the final day when the two countries meet in Warsaw.Portugal can seal their place in the quarterfinals on Friday. Getty ImagesLEAGUE A2Italy (10) and France (9) are clear in first and second and, while Belgium (4) still have a mathematical chance, the quarterfinals spots might already be sealed. Belgium host Italy in Brussels on Thursday and must win to keep their hopes alive.It looks like Belgium will face a relegation playoff, as they sit four points ahead of Israel (0), who have lost all four matches.LEAGUE A3Germany (10) have already booked a slot in the quarterfinals, while Bosnia and Herzegovina (1) must win both of their matches to avoid relegation.Netherlands (5) go into the last week in second but are only ahead of Hungary (5) on goal difference. The two teams meet in Amsterdam on Saturday, and if there's a winner they will be through to the last eight.LEAGUE A4Spain (10) have also secured a place in the top two.Denmark (7) are in a good position and will be through if they better Serbia's result on Friday. If not, it will come down to the meeting between the two teams in Leskovac on Monday.The best bottom-of-the-group Switzerland (1) can hope for is to climb above Serbia into the relegation playoff place. They face each other in Zürich on Friday, and the Swiss must win to have any chance of climbing off the foot.LEAGUE B1The group is completely up in the air, with the four nations separated by three points.Czechia (7) sit top and have promotion in their own hands but sit just one point ahead of Georgia (6) and Albania (6). Ukraine (4) are bottom yet very much within touching distance of at least a promotion playoff.Albania have two home games, which gives them an advantage, while Ukraine have it all to do with two away matches. Czechia can seal promotion on Saturday if they win in Albania and Georgia lose at home to Ukraine.LEAGUE B2The group may effectively be decided on Thursday when Greece (12) take on England (9) in Athens.Greece won 2-1 at Wembley in October, so know they will be promoted with a win or a draw. However, if England win by 2+ goals then victory at home to Republic of Ireland (3) on Sunday would secure first place.If England win by one goal, the nations would be level on points and head-to-head, only separated by a goal difference of two -- meaning the scorelines on the final day would be decisive.Finland (0) travel to Ireland on Thursday and must win to avoid automatic relegation.LEAGUE B3Another group which is impossible to call, with nothing to separate Norway (7), Austria (7) and Slovenia (7).Norway and Austria could be in the strongest position, as they both have to play rock-bottom Kazakhstan (1). The automatic promotion place cannot be confirmed on Thursday, but Kazakhstan's relegation will be if they fail to win at home to Austria.LEAGUE B4Turkey (10) and Wales (8) are in competition to go straight up to League A and meet in Kayseri on Saturday. Turkey will be promoted, and secure a likely World Cup playoff, if they can get a home victory.Iceland (4) have an outside chance of second, if Wales are defeated, but they would have to win in Montenegro (0) in their first game and then in Cardiff on Tuesday -- which would dump Wales into the relegation playoff. Montenegro must win at home to Turkey to stand any chance of avoiding instant relegation.Abduelkerim Bardakci of Turkey is challenged by Brennan Johnson of Wales. Ryan Hiscott/Getty ImagesLEAGUE C1Sweden (10) are above Slovakia (10) on goal difference with the two countries meeting in Solna on Saturday. If there's a winner in that game, it will come with automatic promotion. If the game is a draw, Slovakia may require a huge win over Estonia on Tuesday to finish top because of inferior goal difference.Azerbaijan (0) host Estonia (3) on Saturday and must win to avoid being last. Having zero points, Azerbaijan also face being automatically relegated to League D.LEAGUE C2Romania (12) have the best record in League C, meaning they have an excellent chance of a World Cup playoff through the UNL -- if they can hold on to top spot. They host Kosovo (9) on Friday, and a draw will secure it. Kosovo lost 3-0 at home to Romania, so would need a huge win in Bucharest to reverse the head-to-head record. The odds are that Kosovo will finish second even if they produce a shock.Lithuania (0) must win in Cyprus (3) to have any chance of avoiding bottom spot. Like Azerbaijan, Lithuania face automatic relegation having lost every match.LEAGUE C3A close group headed by Northern Ireland (7), followed by Belarus (6) and Bulgaria (5). Northern Ireland host Belarus on Friday and will be promoted with a victory if Bulgaria fail to win in Luxembourg (2).If Luxembourg can get a victory, they have a real chance of avoiding last place and couldn't be automatically relegated.LEAGUE C4North Macedonia (10) are all but assured of promotion, and their record could yet get them a route to the World Cup playoffs. They need one point to secure first place.The real battle is for the other three places between Armenia (4), Latvia (4) and Faroe Islands (3). The Faroes have two away matches, which puts them at a distinct disadvantage, but they aren't facing a realistic threat of automatic relegation.LEAGUE D1 Gibraltar (5) will be promoted with a win or draw in San Marino (3) on Friday.Liechtenstein (2) will have second to play for when they take on San Marino on Monday, but they cannot win the group.LEAGUE D2Moldova (6) lead Malta (6) on head-to-head goal difference. Moldova will be promoted if they win in Andorra (0) on Saturday, which will consign Malta to a playoff. ,La Liga de Naciones de la UEFA llega a su etapa final con repercusiones en la clasificación para el Mundial y en la promoción y descenso entre las divisiones.

Gran apoyo de los aficionados de Hammarby a pesar de la derrota.

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Nov 14, 2024, 05:00 AM ETHammarby's fans were in full voice despite their loss. James Gill - Danehouse/Getty ImagesMatchday three of this season's UEFA Women's Champions League saw a lot of one-sided big wins: Real Madrid beat FC Twente 7-0, while Barcelona also put seven past St. Pölten. Arsenal took down Serie A leaders Juventus 4-0, Lyon went to Roma and came away with a 3-0 win, Bayern Munich saw off Vålerenga 3-0, and Wolfsburg won 5-0 over Galatasaray.The only two games that were remotely close were Manchester City's 2-0 win over Hammarby, and Chelsea having to come from behind to overcome Celtic 2-1.We asked our writers Emily Keogh, Beth Lindop and Connor O'Halloran to answer some of our burning questions.Chelsea and Manchester City struggled a bit in their games, so what do they need to do to get to the next level? And who is the favourite for their WSL clash this weekend?Keogh: Chelsea and City remain strong favourites to qualify for the knockout stage, but both faced challenges this week. With the demands of a competitive league schedule, it's no surprise that signs of fatigue are beginning to show. Chelsea faced back-to-back trips: first to Liverpool and then to Scotland for their clash with Celtic. This stretch, combined with manager Sonia Bompastor's decision to rest four key players including Millie Bright and Mayra Ramírez, added an extra layer of difficulty.City, meanwhile, often struggle against teams with aggressive high turnovers. But their strength lies in their adaptability and patience to adjust during the game. As manager Gareth Taylor noted afterwards, they were "just a bit off in our final action... a little bit reactive and a little bit late."Both teams demonstrated their resilience and experience in these matches. Chelsea responded quickly, equalising and then taking the lead within minutes; City stayed calm, relying on patience to secure their victory. This mentality is a defining feature that separates them from less-experienced sides who are prone to panic and more vulnerable to counterattacks.Chelsea may be the favourites this Saturday (stream LIVE at 12:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+), but with City's deep lineup of scoring options, including top scorer Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw, they'll be eager to test how long the Blues' unbeaten streak can last.Lindop: Chelsea and City are undoubtedly the two best teams in the WSL right now, but being successful in Europe requires an even greater level of quality and experience. Both teams looked some way shy of their best in the Champions League but that isn't necessarily a huge cause for concern. Navigating multiple fixtures in the space of a week is a challenge for any club, even if they have well-stocked squads at their disposal, and sometimes it is simply about finding a way to win. It is a credit to the mentality of both clubs that they managed to do so.Against Swedish side Hammarby, City were without their most creative force in Lauren Hemp, unavailable with an unspecified injury. Hemp is one of the most in-form players in Europe right now, having created more chances (26) than any other WSL player this term, and her absence was keenly felt.Chelsea, too, started the game without many of their top talents, with Bompastor making eight changes from the 3-0 win over Liverpool. That is always going to affect a team's equilibrium and Bompastor may be wary of doing so again.As for the weekend's big WSL meeting, while I think City have been tremendous this season, the fact that Chelsea are at Stamford Bridge could give them the edge.O'Halloran: Let's not sound the alarm on Chelsea. They took a punch to the nose when Celtic scored midway through the first half, but rebounded and found themselves leading 10 minutes later. Yes, Bompastor made a host of changes, but if her players are fresher for this weekend's clash with City then it will be a risk that paid off.City still dominated on Tuesday, despite an underwhelming performance, the main concern being how much they missed Hemp. It will be an even tougher test to take on Chelsea without her, so Chelsea enter as favourites due to having a flawless league record and a rested squad. But City have it in them to take them down.Chelsea took some time to get going before eventually beating Celtic. Ross Parker/SNS Group via Getty ImagesThe Hammarby fans were amazing ... so how do other UWCL clubs increase their support for away games?Lindop: Nobody is doing away support in the women's game like Hammarby at the moment. Nearly 400 fans made the trip to Manchester and, despite their side being under the cosh for most of the game, the travelling support remained undeterred.The growth of Hammarby's women's fanbase has taken time and concerted effort. An official supporters' group was established nearly a decade ago and they have been working to build an atmosphere both at home and on the road, with the introduction of drums, 'tifos' and prematch meetups all playing their part.Many of the bigger women's teams already have supporters' groups who are starting to employ similar initiatives and Arsenal, in particular, are leading the way. Ensuring there is regular dialogue with fans is key. In the men's game, many supporters are in the habit of following their team across the continent. Tips and tricks for travelling around Europe have been passed down through generations, which is not necessarily the case for the women's side of things. Therefore, having clubs liaise directly with supporters' clubs to help arrange away trips could be one way of boosting their numbers.O'Halloran: What an addition Hammarby fans have been to the tournament this season. The results may not have been kind, but that hasn't dampened their spirits.Ali Krieger and Sebastian Salazar debate the biggest storylines and break down the best highlights from women's soccer in the Americas. Stream on ESPN+ (U.S. only) The tifos, drums and flags display all the hallmarks of a great European away day, and those kind of scenes started at Hammarby around a decade ago when fan Simon Sandstrom was asked by his daughter why the crowd was being "so boring.""My daughter looked at me with sad eyes and asked: 'Dad, why isn't anyone singing? Why isn't there any drums?" he told BBC Sport. Sandstrom responded by starting a supporters' group and jumping on a fence at the next game to get chants going. It's fan culture at its finest.UEFA has pledged a €1 billion investment of "competition revenue" into women's football over the next six years, which it says will take the sport to the next level. It would be nice to see some of that money dedicated to growing and supporting fanbases. Accessibility into grassroots football is important, but so is allowing general fans to see the professional game for themselves. Maybe radical ideas are needed -- can UEFA make it cheaper for fans to travel to away games through supporter clubs? Could clubs organise more fan events in foreign cities?There is already a buoyant home support in women's football, but there is something special about making away trips with your club, and there are ways of making that accessible.Keogh: It's exciting to see more clubs fostering a loyal travelling fanbase. Hammarby's fans are some of the most devoted around and have proven this dedication by showing up in numbers from Catalonia to Manchester, to cheer on their team's debut season.In Manchester they were loud, dedicated, fun, and respectful, even thanking City on social media for allowing them to bring their signature drum into the stadium.As the others say, growing fan engagement and supporting official fan clubs are essential to building a dedicated following. The success of Barcelona's fan culture is a prime example: last year, droves descended on Bilbao for the UWCL final, transforming the atmosphere. Clubs that partner with supporter groups to arrange travel, organise coaches, and ensure ticket availability are making a vital investment in their teams' success. After all, cost and logistics are often the biggest hurdles for fans, and alleviating that burden to a degree can make all the difference.The impact of loyal fans can be game-changing, especially when the team's back is against the wall. With the new format on the horizon, let's hope this incredible energy and commitment from fans only continues to grow.Real Madrid scored seven goals against Twente this week. Florencia Tan Jun/Getty ImagesThere have been some big scorelines, does this suggest the UWCL isn't growing?O'Halloran: This week's results certainly raise an eyebrow when taken as a whole. Only one of the eight games produced a goal for both sides, but Celtic's 22nd-minute opener from Murphy Agnew was soon nullified by a pair of Chelsea strikes. Though that shouldn't come as too much of a shock when you look at the matchups, with only one game (Roma vs. Lyon) being played between first and second-placed sides in their groups.UEFA knows that the Champions League works better when the best sides go head-to-head. There are downsides to that -- it has led UEFA to removing the jeopardy from competitions, and often increasing wealth disparity among clubs, making the issue somewhat worse -- but the plus is the product on the field.This week, for the most part, just didn't see the best against the best. That issue might not correct itself next time either, with Gameweek 4 a repeat of this week's fixtures. There is no need to panic though. It's the knockout stages of the Champions League that always provides the most enthralling action. The best is still yet to come.Keogh: The disparity between clubs like Chelsea and Barcelona and debutants Galatasaray and Celtic is vast. The tough qualification process only adds to the challenge for newer teams, making it difficult to close the gap.Each season, the progression of certain teams feels almost predetermined. Surprises in games are still possible -- like when Celtic shocked Chelsea with an early goal -- and some groups (namely Group C, with Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Munich) are more competitive, but overall the Champions League has become predictable at this stage.Dan Thomas is joined by Craig Burley, Shaka Hislop and others to bring you the latest highlights and debate the biggest storylines. Stream on ESPN+ (U.S. only). Right now, the standings across all four groups are identical: each has one team with three wins, another with two, a third with one, and a team yet to secure a victory. This pattern shows both the gap in quality and predictability of the competition so far.Closing the gap remains a significant challenge. Achieving a more balanced competition would require substantial financial investment across various clubs and nations to boost individual resources and overall coefficients. This would help level the playing field over time, but it's a slow process.The new format next season may take a step toward, as it will allow lower-ranked teams to host higher-ranked teams in single fixtures rather than home-and-away matchups. This setup might give underdogs a better chance to compete on their terms, potentially leading to a more competitive and unpredictable tournament.Lindop: The UWCL is at a bit of a crossroads. There has long been a clamour in some quarters for the competition to be expanded but the latest round of fixtures shows there is still an enormous disparity in the quality of the teams competing in the competition.Norwegian champions Valerenga were beaten 3-0 by Bayern, meaning their goal difference after three games played stands at -7. It is a similar story for Turkish champions Galatasaray, whose goal difference is currently -13 after heavy defeats to Lyon, Roma and Wolfsburg.Manchester United boss Marc Skinner drew plenty of criticism last season for suggesting that some of the teams who progressed through the qualifying stages "weren't good enough" to be in the competition. While his argument was clumsy, it is hard to argue that it was entirely unfounded. That said, the brilliance of the Champions League is the chance to watch teams who would never normally play each other facing off, and there is still scope for fairytales.Arsenal boss Renée Slegers has brought renewed confidence. Chris Ricco - UEFA/UEFA via Getty ImagesGroup C is more competitive, but Juventus are top of Serie A and Arsenal beat them easily. Was anyone expecting that?Lindop: Arsenal have enjoyed some impressive results since Renée Slegers took over as interim coach, but Tuesday's 4-0 win over Juventus has to be the best of the lot. Max Canzi's side are unbeaten in Serie A this season, having won eight of their first nine league games, and are also the division's top scorers, averaging 2.9 goals per game in the Italian top flight.For Arsenal to shut Juventus out at their home stadium, while also scoring four goals, is a big statement. It is also worth noting that the visitors could have had more, with only the heroics of Arsenal alum Pauline Peyraud-Magnin in the Juventus goal denying them an even more convincing victory.The quality in this Arsenal team has never been in doubt; all but two of their 23-player squad have been capped at senior international level and they boast admirable depth in most positions. But by the end of Jonas Eidevall's tenure, it seemed as if many of the club's top stars were playing within themselves, resulting in lacklustre displays across the pitch. Now, under Slegers, Arsenal seem to have rediscovered their confidence and now are well positioned to progress from Group C.Keogh: Arsenal's win over Juve is a testament to their exceptional quality, which had been buried during their recent struggles. With Slegers at the helm, confidence and freedom are flowing back into the squad, and it shows. It's clear that momentum is building and, after a slow start to the season and the resignation of Eidevall, this is exactly the boost Arsenal need to keep moving forward.For Juventus, however, this was a stark contrast from their usual form. Despite being unbeaten in Serie A, the defeat exposed the gap between the WSL and the Italian league. Juventus struggled to keep up with Arsenal's pace and intensity and too much faith was put in Juve's younger players, as they left top players like Cristiana Girelli and Barbara Bonansea on the bench. There were a lot of opportunities for Juventus to exploit, but they squandered their chances.O'Halloran: There was a lot to love about this Arsenal performance. The first goal was the highlight as a beautiful passage of play saw them seamlessly bypass the Italians with a series of one-touch passes, before it was finished off in style by Frida Maanum.Yet the 4-0 scoreline is slightly deceiving. Juventus' Sofia Cantore squandered a one-vs.-one inside three minutes, and Amalie Vangsgaard had a chance to equalise as late as the 66th minute before the Gunners' ruthlessness in the final 15 minutes took over."Juventus had an early chance and big events in games always give them direction," Slegers said afterwards. "Scoring the second goal was a release ... that made us feel comfortable."There is no question that the interim boss has injected confidence into this talented Arsenal side, and she is making the case to stay in the job until at least the end of the season. This result was a shock, but after beating Brighton 5-0 last time out, Arsenal's next opponents, arch-rivals Tottenham, should be feeling a little nervous. ,Resultados de la tercera jornada de la UEFA Women's Champions League: Real Madrid y Barcelona arrasaron, Arsenal venció a Juventus, y Lyon y Bayern Munich también se impusieron.
