  1. Rocky start to Disney+'s revamped Champions League coveragepublished at 17:30 BST 30 September

    A distraction from the start of the league phase last week came in broadcaster Disney+'s chaotic studio coverage of the matches.

    The second half of Arsenal v HB Koge was interrupted for three minutes by an advert break, which Disney said was unscheduled.

    It was one of several technical issues during the coverage, which fans said was "gimmicky" and "undermines" women's football. One guest was a dog with 137,000 Instagram followers.

    Disney's coverage also featured a vegetable platter being served and a rotating floor.

    They are back in action tonight - and the audio issues have returned.

    This is the second season of the Women's Champions League to be broadcast on Disney+. Matches are produced by ESPN.

    Arsenal boss Renee Slegers, speaking to Disney+ about Mariona Caldentey: "Mariona is a very important player. It's a pleasure to work with her. She understands the game so well.

    "She sees spaces so well. Very technical player, so she's played different roles for us, on the left side, higher up in midfield and lower in midfield. What she's really good at is spaces and attacking spaces and getting into spaces and hopefully she can do that for us tonight."

  3. 'Surprised Arsenal made so many changes last week'published at 17:25 BST 30 September

    On English teams making several changes to their line-ups in their first Champions League games last week:

    I was surprised, especially from an Arsenal point of view making that many changes just because I would've thought you would want some continuity and connection because they're struggling with confidence and momentum anyway. Then it took until the 90th minute [to score].

    It was a frustration for Arsenal. They had so many opportunities but I can understand why you would want to rotate and keep your players fresh and happy but that comes at a price at the same time with potential for the performance not being there.

  4. Arsenal snatch opening winpublished at 17:22 BST 30 September

    FT: Arsenal 1-0 HB Koge

    Mariona Caldentey scored a stoppage-time penalty to secure victory for a wasteful Arsenal at home to Danish side HB Koge in the first game of their Women's Champions League campaign.

    Arsenal, who had struggled in front of goal against a side made up of several part-time players, were heading towards a disappointing draw when Caldentey scored from the spot after Selina Cerci was tripped in the box.

    But otherwise Arsenal looked toothless all too often, enjoying dominance of the ball but unable to find a way through.

    Arsenal lacked aggression in the final third and were often sloppy in possession, gifting opportunities for the Danish side to press and snatch the ball.

    They rescued it from the spot, however, as Vingum was unable to deny Caldentey from 12 yards despite managing to get a hand to her strike.
