OH Leuven will give everything in their upcoming UEFA Women's Champions League match against Italian champions Roma, according to captain Julie Biesmans. This will be the team's second consecutive league phase appearance at home. Biesmans emphasizes that the squad, now consisting of mostly younger players, is not under any pressure and approaches each game individually.
Roma, a familiar opponent, returned with a reshaped squad after losing their Serie A Women's Cup final to Juventus. Biesmans warns that Roma remains a strong team, despite their recent setbacks, and Leuven aims to make their lives difficult. She declined to reveal specific strategies, but acknowledges that their recent goalscoring form could provide some confidence.
The significance of Leuven's presence extends beyond their own success, as they inspire young Belgian players who now dream of playing in the Champions League.
