Press conference

Arsenal Media 15 Oct 2025

Ahead of our flight to Lisbon, Renée spoke to the media at the Sobha Realty Training Centre for her pre-Benfica press conference.

We’re back in UEFA Women’s Champions League action at Estadio de Luz at 8pm on Thursday.

Here’s everything our head coach had to say on the following subjects…

on the mood after the win over Brighton:
Everyone, of course, is happy with the win. We said three points was the most important thing on that day. We did that together, so I'm very happy with that. I think we've had a productive review day with the players, with some really good constructive outcomes. We've been working hard in the build-up to the Benfica game.

on facing Benfica:I've played against them a couple of years ago. They're a very aggressive and intense team to play against. They have a psychological presence, if I can say so. So they will be intense from that...
