Durante semanas, el título de la Superliga Femenina pareció cosa juzgada. A finales de enero, el Manchester City tenía nueve puntos de ventaja. Una semana después goleó 5-1 al campeón, el Chelsea, y su margen subió a 11 puntos. Parecía decidido, ¿no? Sin embargo, aunque al City solo le quedan dos partidos, todo se jugará en la última jornada.
La capitana del Tottenham Hotspur, Bethany England, ha anunciado que dejará el club al final de la temporada, tras tres años y medio en el norte de Londres. La delantera de 31 años comunicó la decisión en un emotivo vídeo a la afición, después de que el club no renovara su contrato.
El Arsenal ha recibido un gran impulso de cara a la nueva temporada con la noticia de que Leah Williamson ha comprometido oficialmente su futuro con el club. La capitana de Inglaterra, que se ha convertido en el pilar de la defensa de las Gunners, ha firmado un nuevo contrato para prolongar su carrera en el norte de Londres.
El Arsenal, con un equipo renovado, goleó 7-0 al colista Leicester el miércoles y se metió en puestos de Liga de Campeones. Con dos partidos menos, las Gunners son, a falta de confirmación matemática, el único equipo que aún puede alcanzar al líder, el Manchester City.
Millie Bright, capitana del Chelsea y exinternacional con las Lionesses, se retira del fútbol tras dejar la selección este año. En 12 años con los Blues ha conquistado 20 títulos: ocho ligas, el récord de partidos en la Superliga Femenina y un Europeo.
Leah Williamson, referente del Arsenal, está cerca de firmar un nuevo contrato que prolongará sus 20 años en el club de su infancia. La capitana de las Lionesses es clave para las Gunners y su actual vínculo vencía en semanas. Según informes, el Arsenal está a punto de acordar nuevas condiciones con su defensa estrella.
