Linda Caicedo shined on a rainy evening in the Spanish capital as Real Madrid beat Arsenal 2-0 in the first leg of the women’s Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday. Eight-time champion Lyon is eying the semifinals after a 2-0 win at Bayern Munich in their first-leg quarterfinal thanks to goals from Tabitha Chawinga and Melchie Dumornay.

Goals in each half from Linda Caicedo and Athenea del Castillo gave Real Madrid a 2-0 win over Arsenal in their Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday while eight-time winners Lyon defeated Bayern Munich by the same scoreline.

Arsenal are struggling to keep tabs on Chelsea in the Women's Super League and also suffered a blow when they were dumped out of the Women's FA Cup by Liverpool but a Champions League date with Real Madrid gives them a chance of redemption and the Gunners can emerge from their quarter-final first leg in Spain with an advantage.
