While Olympique Lyonnais is preparing to face Arsenal in the semifinals of the Champions League, DAZN has decided to strengthen its editorial coverage for the remainder of the competition. The Lyon team has already validated its participation in the final stages of the First League, consolidating its national domination and continuing its quest for an 18th title. However, on a European scale, the staggering rise of FC Barcelona, winner of the Champions League on three occasions in the last four editions, has considerably intensified the competition and revived the level of performance in women’s football.

Faced with this growing interest and to offer a rich experience to the audience, DAZN is putting in place an amplified editorial mechanism for the semi-final between OL and Arsenal, which will take place on 19 and 27 April. Romaine Balland, special envoy, will be accompanied by a consultant from the DAZN team to comment on the meetings at the Emirates Stadium and the OL Park. In addition, the platform will propose exclusively and free of charge the broadcast of the other semi-final between Barcelona and Chelsea, as well as the final, underlining the importance attached to this major deadline.

Optimism prevails in OL, with the players showing strength against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. However, the team is aware of the challenges ahead, including the possible confrontation with FC Barcelona in the final. Before that, it will be crucial to overcome the double confrontation with Arsenal, who eliminated Real Madrid in the quarter-final. The international truce also raised concerns, with the return of several injured players, including Wendie Renard and Kadidiatou Diano, as well as Ellie Carpenter’s package, whose absence could affect the team’s performance.
