The Fenottes will be flying off to the ~Eternal City~ to tackle AS Roma this Wednesday, November 13th at 5 PM Chile time. Make sure your calendars are marked—after all, this isn’t just a game; it’s a quest for glory! Or as one might say, “It’s all about the ball!” (And perhaps the occasional fabulous goal celebration!)
Now, let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Olympique Lyon went all out in matchday 1, smashing Galatasaray 3-0 with the kind of flair that would make a catwalk model envious—Kadidiatou Diani and Vanessa Gilles strutting their stuff like they were at Paris Fashion Week! On matchday 2, they edged past Wolfsburg 2-0, courtesy of their goal-scoring gurus, Wendie Renard and Lindsey Horan.
