Summary
Welcome to a brand new episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, the number one podcast about Arsenal Women.
Arsenal Women play away at defending European champions Barcelona in the first game of the Champions League group stages on Tuesday evening. Tim and resident Barcelona expert Alex Ibaceta get together to preview the game, Alex talks about Barca's many strengths, key players, some of their weaknesses and considers whether Arsenal have any chance of escaping with any kind of result. The panel also discuss why Barcelona's women's team are so formidable while their men's team flounders- a concept not unfamiliar to Arsenal fans in fairness.
The game, like all of Arsenal's Champions League games, is being screened live on DAZN's YouTube channel free of charge with no paid subscription required.
