The quarter-final was played in front of 21,307 fans — a record for a women’s European game at the venue and four times the size of the crowd for Arsenal’s defeat by Wolfsburg at the same stage last year.
Arsenal Women play their home games at Boreham Wood’s Meadow Park, which has a capacity of about 3,400, but switch to the club’s main stadium for high-profile matches.
The club set a Women’s Super League attendance record in September when their game with Tottenham drew a crowd of 47,367.
Williamson has praised Arsenal for growing support for the women’s side and believes they can now one day aim to play all their games at the Emirates.
“For sure, I mean, if you asked me five years ago it would have been completely different again,” she said.
