Season of Evolution and Reflection

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Barcelona in Lisbon, to secure the clubs second Women's Champions League 18 years on from the first.

Stina Blackstenius was the hero, scoring the winner just seven minutes after coming off the bench. The panel discuss Renee Slegers impact since becoming manager back in October, including her connection with the squad and how she's improved them tactically.

We hear from Blackstenius, Beth Mead and Chloe Kelly speaking to The Athletic's Charlotte Harpur post game, and Art de Roché drops by to give his thoughts on a brave and intelligent performance.

Amy and Adrian make a start on our end of season awards for the men's side, looking back at the highlights and lowlights of the campaign, choosing their player of the season, goal of the season, moment they wished could be different plus many, many more.

We'll be back on Wednesday with James and Art to talk more about the women's monumental triumph, continue the awards and answer your questions, you can email us at handbrake@theathletic.com.
