Frida Maanum has been named Player of the Tournament following Arsenal’s triumph in the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup.

The Norwegian midfielder played a key role throughout the campaign, including a brilliant volley in the semi-final against AS FAR to double our early lead in a 6-0 victory at Brentford Community Stadium.

 In the final against South American champions Corinthians, Frida began on the bench but came on at half-time for Stina Blackstenius. 

With extra-time nearing its end and the score level, she delivered a perfect through ball to Caitlin Foord, who fired home the decisive goal in a 3-2 win. 

After full-time, Frida was presented with her award by Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger, who returned to Emirates Stadium to witness the Gunners secure a historic triumph.
