Arsenal Vs Corinthians: Anneke Borbe Injury Overshadows Gunners' FIFA Women's Champions Cup Victory
Arsenal's FIFA Women's Champions Cup 2026 final win over Corinthians proved to be bittersweet for the English side as goalkeeper Anneke Borbe was rushed to a London hospital following a collision with teammate Lotte Wubben-Moy. The accident happened in the closing minutes of extra time at the Emirates Stadium. The 25-year-old German, who joined the UEFA Women's Champions League winners from Wolfsburg last year, was carried off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask and neck brace, with Daphne van Domselaar coming in as a concussion substitute. The Gunners won the match 3-2, thanks to goals from Olivia Smith (15th), Wubben-Moy (58th), and Caitlin Foord (104th), while Gabi Zanotti (21') and Victoria (90+6', penalty) found the back of the net for the South American champions from Brazil.
