At the end of a crazy match and penalties, Paris FC eliminated Arsenal in the preliminary round of the Women’s Champions League on Saturday, and its captain Gaëtane Thiney, 37, burst into tears. Magnificent images.
An emotion that is pleasant to see. As she begins her 22nd season at the professional level, at 37 years old, Gaëtane Thiney, captain of Paris FC, collapsed in tears after her team’s qualifying penalty shootout against Arsenal on Saturday during a tour organized in Sweden.
The Parisiennes took out the Gunners at the end of an absolutely crazy match, after leading 2-1 until the 90th + 6 then 3-2 until the 116th in overtime. They finally won the penalty shootout (4-2) and the last attempt converted by Louna Ribadeira gave way to an incredible scene of joy.
The PFC is not yet qualified for the group stage of the LDC (4 groups of 4), since Thiney and his teammates will compete, like PSG, in the play-offs of the competition. Draw on September 15 for the two Ile-de-France teams.
