What changed

Arsenal Women beat Benfica Women 3-0 in the Women’s Champions League on 28 October 2026. Alessia Russo reportedly scored a hat-trick as Arsenal secured consecutive victories.

Why it matters

The result gives Arsenal a clear lift in Europe, with Russo at the centre of it. A three-goal performance from one player turns a routine scoreline into a statement about the night’s decisive figure.

If Arsenal can carry that confidence forward, the win may become more than a single result: it could help establish momentum in their Champions League campaign.
