As a club, Arsenal have an incredibly rich history, and the women's team has contributed greatly to their impressive trophy count over the years.With 51 major honours, the Gunners are statistically the most successful English women's team in history.They are also the only British side to ever win the Women's Champions League, and 15 years ago today, they made their dreams a reality on the European stage.The 2006/07 season was an era that would go down in history. Spearheaded by the iconic Vic Akers, Arsenal secured an unprecedented quadruple win, with a first ever Champions League title rounding off their perfect campaign.Alex Scott also added to her club hero status by netting the winning goal against Umeå IK in the final.

Alex Scott's iconic goal

Before the Women’s Champions League was restructured, the final was split into two legs. In 2007, when the first leg hit the 90th minute, it looked as though Arsenal were headed for a nervy second fixture to attempt to secure their first title.

However, a moment of pure genius struck and Scott thrust her side into the lead.

With just injury time to go, the unmarked defender drove the ball forward and unleashed her shot from long range, whipping it beyond the Umeå IK goalkeeper.

Scott's goal would prove to be the title winner after the second leg ended 0-0 at Borehamwood. History had been made and every woman on the pitch in red had written their names in footballing folklore.

How Arsenal made Champions League history

FFC Frankfurt and Turbine Potsdam, the previous winners and runners-up, were dealt surprise defeats and knocked out in the quarter-finals. The narrative had already opened up for some surprise results and new winners.

The Gunners dominated from the start — finishing top of their group with maximum points, 12 goals scored and four conceded.

Julie Fleeting set the precedent of Arsenal's attack after netting all five of her side's goals in their opening 5-4 win over Russian team Rossiyanka.

A blistering 9-1 aggregate win over Icelandic side Breiðablik in the next round booked their spot in the semi-final, where they faced Brøndby.

The Danish club looked to cause a big upset for Arsenal after holding them to a 2-2 draw in the first leg, but an inspired second leg performance and goals from Rachel Yankey, Karen Carney and Fleeting extinguished their opponents' hopes.

The historic performance against Umeå IK in the final iced the stunning season Arsenal had been enjoying — Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Premier League Cup winners.

Continuing the legacy

Still to this day, no WSL side has matched Arsenal's quadruple-winning season and they remain the only British team to win the Champions League.

The Gunners last won a trophy in 2019 — their 15th top flight title, which is still an untouched record in the history of the league.

They are currently locked in a fierce battle with reigning champions Chelsea for this season's silverware. As it stands, just one point separates the two at the top of the table, leaving everything still very much to play for.
