In an exciting Women’s Champions League semi-final clash, Barcelona secured a 1-0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The game saw an early goal from Norway’s Caroline Graham Hansen, who cut in from the right and fired a stunning left-footed shot beyond Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger in just the fourth minute of the match. Barcelona then held on to their lead to secure a valuable win, setting them up nicely for the second leg at Camp Nou next Thursday. The Spanish side will be hoping to reach their third consecutive Champions League final, having won against Chelsea in 2021 and losing to Lyon in the previous year.
The winner of the tie will progress to the final in the Dutch city of Eindhoven on June 3, where they will face either Wolfsburg or Arsenal. The first leg of their last-four tie takes place on Sunday in Germany.
Barcelona’s English midfielder Keira Walsh said, “It was a strong start from us. Stamford Bridge is not an easy place to come and Chelsea aren’t an easy team to beat. We can be confident going into the second leg now,” as Barcelona looks to secure their place in the final.
