The Disadvantages of Playing in a Small League

Lynsey Hooper and The Athletic’s Arsenal reporter Art de Roche are here to take you through this week’s women’s football drama from the title race to the Champions League. 

Plus The Athletic’s Charlotte Harpur joins us to Chelsea’s dramatic win over Lyon, with some comments from ex-England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley on Berger’s brilliance. 

And we chat to Helen Hardy, Hannah Thornley and Alex McKevitt about the inclusive grassroot leagues and clubs centered around welcoming cisgender women, non-binary, gender non-conforming and transgender players.
