Stina Blackstenius: Arsenal striker quietly making a big noise

This again ranks him second only to Shaw, but he probably has more credits in the bank given the Jamaican striker has more than double the number of goals he has scored.

This may be why Blackstenius is sometimes relegated to a minor role at the Emirates Stadium – or perhaps it is just the standard of the competition.

After all, Russo, one of the best strikers in the world, faces England heroes Chloe Kelly and Beth Mead, £1million Canadian winger Olivia Smith and Arsenal stalwart Caitlin Foord as the starting spot.

The former Linkoping, Montpellier and BK Hacken forward isn’t complaining.

He added: “We’ve got a lot of quality in this team and we’re a really good group who want to support each other. I feel safe in this group and I know my teammates have my back.

“This club feels right at home.”

Last year it was also the home of the Champions League trophy. Arsenal will have the chance to win back-to-back major titles if they can avoid defeat against eight-time champions Lyon.
