In the Swedish league, Häcken was barely second when Anna Tamminen, by Eva Nyström and by Adelina Engman Hammarby took the championship thanks to goal difference.

In addition, Häcken faces Real Madrid and Paris FC once more. In the same breath, Anvegård continued that Häcken wants to be among the top two in his group and advance to the playoffs.
– We are not in the Champions League to watch and learn.
