LISBON, Portugal -- Arsenal pulled off a shock 1-0 victory over title-holders Barcelona in the UEFA Women's Champions League final to lift their first European trophy in 18 years.
Substitute Stina Blackstenius netted the only goal of the evening in the 74th minute after a reworked cross fell to Beth Mead, who threaded it through Barcelona's defence for the Swedish striker. The Gunners struggled to take their chances -- they had the ball in the back of the net early after an Irene Paredes own-goal, however Frida Maanum was adjudged offside in the build-up.
