Arsenal head coach, Jonas Eidevall, said he and his team had been “inspired” by the men’s side after their Women’s Champions League semi-final defeat.
The Gunners were beaten 3-2 at a sold-out and very loud Emirates on Monday, and 5-4 on aggregate, by Wolfsburg in a thrilling tie which saw the German side set up a meeting with Barcelona in June’s final.
Asked after the game about riding the emotion of the game and the support around the team, Jonas Eidevall said: “We have been speaking about that the whole season, to get used to playing for the Emirates, to use our supporters’ energy as something to have a force.
“I think that the work that I’ve seen that our men’s team and Mikel [Arteta] has been doing has been so inspiring in that, with how they have been together with supporters.
“I think we also learned from that and we saw that tonight as well”.
