While the UEFA Women\u2019s Champions League quarter-final second leg was held at Stamford Bridge, the game had a familiar soundtrack.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because all the noise came from the Arsenal supporters from start to finish, cheering us onto the semi-finals with a 3-2 win on aggregate.<\/p>\n

After the game, we asked Lotte Wubben-Moy what it\u2019s like to have such an advantage in these games.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cAre we away from home? It didn’t sound like that. The only difference was that it’s a blue stadium.\u00a0Our fans were so good tonight. I think they out-sung the Chelsea fans tenfold,\u00a0even though they were probably outnumbered by them. Our fans are incredible and it’s such a\u00a0strength of ours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis game required a lot of focus and concentration, but that’s what we’re made for. These nights are\u00a0special. The history that this club has in the competition is definitely something that plays\u00a0to our advantage. To be honest, when you’ve got those fans screaming behind you, the intensity\u00a0and the focus is made somewhat easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her pre-match press conference, Lotte spoke about the Arsenal ways and the quiet confidence in our team. So how does she describe the Arsenal way tonight?<\/p>\n

\u201cGritty, disciplined,\u201d she said. \u201cI think our job was kind of cut out for us. We knew we had to come in and\u00a0give them a hard time, both attacking and defensively. We would have probably liked\u00a0to have been slightly more aggressive in that first half, but ultimately I think the discipline\u00a0that every single player had to defend, to come down into the low block, mid-block and\u00a0limit their chances was something I’m incredibly proud of and it’s what allowed us to get over the\u00a0line tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daphne van Domselaar made a number of huge saves throughout the match, keeping us two goals ahead before Chelsea\u2019s late consolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey speak for themselves,\u00a0to be honest,\u201d Lotte added. \u201cShe was incredible tonight. Everyone put their shift in, but I think\u00a0in particular kudos to Daphne. She was pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
