Russo hat-trick makes her England's top scorer in Women's Champions League

Alessia Russo scored a hat-trick in Arsenal's 3 a 0 win over Benfica to move level with Fran Kirby on 21 goals and reach 23, becoming the all-time leading English scorer in the Women's Champions League. Arsenal are second in the table and next travel to Barcelona on November 12.

Alessia Russo agora é a maior artilheira inglesa da história da Champions League feminina. Ela alcançou a marca com um hat-trick na vitória do Arsenal por 3 a 0 sobre o Benfica, na fase de liga, em Borehamwood.

A camisa 9 das Gunners igualou Fran Kirby com 21 gols num chute baixo e diagonal que superou Lena Pauels. Um cabeceio de leve desvio no escanteio de Steph Catley a colocou isolada no topo da lista, e o pênalti na sequência — depois de Catarina Amado derrubar Caitlin Foord — a levou a 23.

A técnica da Inglaterra, Sarina Wiegman, assistiu ao hat-trick das arquibancadas, e Georgia Stanway deu a ela mais um motivo de satisfação. A única mancha na noite de Russo foi a bandeira de impedimento na jogada que teria sido o quarto gol de Foord, já no fim: o gol foi anulado.

A fase dela acompanha a do time. O Arsenal venceu partidas consecutivas pela primeira vez na temporada, aliviando a pressão depois de mais um começo lento, e o resultado o coloca em segundo na tabela da Champions League. O próximo compromisso europeu é uma viagem ao Barcelona em 12 de novembro — o time que o Arsenal venceu para conquistar o título de 2025.

“É muito bom. Adoro jogar a Champions League, especialmente com o Arsenal e com o que estamos construindo”, disse Russo ao Disney+. “Dissemos que o dérbi do norte de Londres não significaria nada se não déssemos continuidade hoje, então era muito importante.”

Ela creditou o volume de chutes. “Dava para ver quantos chutes no gol tivemos. Vínhamos construindo muito, focando em as pessoas se sentirem confiantes para subir e chutar de fora da área. A goleira delas fez grandes defesas e, em outra noite, poderia ter sido uma atuação ainda melhor.”
