Arsenal may be favourites on home turf, but they face a Corinthians side who know exactly how to win trophies.<\/p>\n

Known as Timao, which translates to ‘the Great Team’, they are the undisputed queens of Brazilian football and won the league title seven times, including six in a row between 2020 and 2025.<\/p>\n

Their dominance extends across the continent, having qualified for the Champions Cup as the reigning champions of the Copa Libertadores – a tournament they have won five times in the past seven seasons. <\/p>\n

Corinthians have already proven their quality by knocking out a star-studded Gotham side<\/a> who boasted the likes of America legend Rose Lavelle and England defender Jess Carter in their starting line-up.<\/p>\n

The winner came from their 40-year-old captain Gabi Zanotti, who beat former Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger in the 83rd minute at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

For a South American club, the economics that Champions Cup offers would be transformative. <\/p>\n

However, question marks remain over the tournament’s timing with concerns about fixture congestion and player welfare.<\/p>\n

While Arsenal benefit from no travel, Corinthians are playing during their off-season, but those concerns will be set aside for the final as the Brazilian side look to upset the odds again and prove they belong at the very top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal may be favourites on home turf, but they face a Corinthians side who know exactly how to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-451574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
