Interim head coach Renee Slegers insists Arsenal can progress all the way to the Champions League final after they beat Bayern Munich 3-2.

Arsenal interim head coach Renee Slegers insists her side can go all the way in the Women's Champions League after they beat Bayern Munich 3-2 to top Group C.

Mariona Caldentey's late penalty sealed victory for the Gunners, who needed to win the game in order to secure seeding in the quarter-finals.

Glodis Vigosdottir scored a first-half own goal before Alessia Russo added the hosts' second in an evenly-matched game, and Slegers believes they can mix it with the best teams in Europe.

Of her team's chances of reaching the final, Slegers told DAZN: "We need to have that belief, and we have that belief, especially after today.

"There are things we can do better in the game, but it was the same against Liverpool [1-0 win on Sunday]. We don't play our best game, but still, we found ways to win and that is a sign of a top team.

"The eight teams that are going through will be top, top teams. It's positive to see how women's football has grown and the football being played."
