Arsenal broke their ticket sales record ahead of their UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final, second leg against VfL Wolfsburg.

  • Gunners drew 2-2 away at Wolfsburg in first-leg
  • Tickets for the second leg at Emirates in high-demand
  • Club record sales to support Jonas Eidevall’s side

WHAT HAPPENED? Arsenal are on course to set another attendance record when they welcome Wolfsburg to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of their Women’s Champions League semi-final. Ticket sales for their last four second-leg clash crossed the 55,000 mark on Thursday, according to the club.

The Gunners sold 21,307 tickets for their quarter-final second-leg victory against Bayern Munich last month, which they won 2-0. That was a record attendance for a women’s European game hosted by the north London club and it looks set to be smashed against Wolfsburg.

The Gunners have the chance to reach the Women's Champions League final for the first time since 2007 should they beat Wolfsburg on home turf. And it looks like Jonas Eidevall's side will get the full support of the Emirates faithful to achieve the historic feat, with Arsenal fans still booking their tickets for the return fixture. A complete sell-out crowd could well be on the cards with less than 10,000 tickets remaining.
