Arsenal have likely had Thursday, December 9, circled on their calenders for the last couple of months.
The Gunners top the table in Women's Super League and are considered among the best women's teams in the world, but they were humbled on Matchday 1 of the 2021-21 UEFA Women's Champions League by a superb Barcelona side.
On that day in October, Barca put on a clinic in dismantling their English opponents, prevailing 4-1 in a match with a scoreline that flattered the losers.
Since that day, Arsenal have played nearly unblemished football both domestically and in the UWCL — blowout loss to Chelsea in the FA Women's Cup notwithstanding — and sit second in Group C.
Now, the Gunners have the chance to exact some revenge for that earlier loss to Barca, and they would also pull level atop the group with a victory.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Arsenal vs. Barcelona.
