Women's Champions League: Arsenal thump OH Leuven

Frida Maanum scored twice in Arsenal’s 4-0 win, putting them close to quarterfinals after finishing fifth in the league phase and entering playoffs.

  • In Leuven on Feb. 11, 2026, Arsenal, defending Women's Champions League holders, routed OH Leuven 4-0 in the first leg of the knockout play-off.
  • Arsenal, having finished the league phase fifth, faced high stakes in the playoffs round against Leuven, who ranked 12th in their first European top competition campaign.
  • Frida Maanum scored twice, including a headed opener from Caitlin Foord's cross in the 22nd minute, while Olivia Smith finished clinically and set up Alessia Russo after a goalkeeper’s parry.
  • The win all but assures Arsenal a quarter-final spot, leaving the tie largely settled, and the second leg is scheduled in Madrid next Wednesday with Barcelona awaiting winners.
  • Other playoffs are scheduled Thursday, including Wolfsburg vs Juventus and Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United, as Arsenal, who won the Women's Champions Cup on Feb 1, nears a quarter-final with Chelsea under the revamped six-round league format.
