Eidevall expecting ‘reality check’ when Arsenal meet Lyon

Jonas Eidevall believes Arsenal’s upcoming Women’s Champions League clash against eight-time champions Lyon will be a “reality check” for his side.

Arsenal are currently unbeaten in this season’s Women’s Super League after three matches, having scored nine goals and not conceded any so far in the campaign.

Beth Mead was also on Monday named the runner-up for the women’s Ballon d’Or after her impressive performances for club and country in the past year.

Despite Arsenal’s prolific league form, Eidevall expects a very different match against the current Champions League holders on Wednesday night.

“It’s a very good reality check to see where we are at the moment and that is always very exciting to see because no matter what (happens) tomorrow we know exactly where we are at and what we need to continue to improve, and what we are already good at so I’m really looking forward to it,” the Swedish manager said.
