Laura Woods has hit back at criticism over TNT Sports' coverage of the Champions League final, after claims that her Arsenal allegiances led to biased broadcasting. Woods, a self-confessed Arsenal fan, presented the network's coverage as the Gunners lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
Writing on X, Woods dismissed suggestions that the coverage was overly focused on Arsenal. 'Can't really help it if my team makes the final and I'm contracted to work that show,' she said sarcastically. She also addressed complaints about the absence of PSG fan Julien Laurens, noting that post-match interviews included PSG figures like Luis Enrique and Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Woods, who will work for ITV Sport at the upcoming World Cup, warned fans that coverage there would be 'mostly English'. The TNT Sports broadcast drew around seven million viewers, though an estimated 16.2 million watched illegally.
