Chelsea Women and Barcelona Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women’s Champions League fixture on Thursday (November 20th). The game will be played at Stamford Bridge.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Liverpool in the Women’s Super League over the weekend. They went ahead through Alyssa Thompson’s ninth-minute strike while Beata Olsson equalized in the 33rd minute.
Thanks for the submission!
Barcelona, meanwhile, thrashed El Clasico rivals Real Madrid 4-0 at home in the Spanish Liga F. Ewa Pajor’s first-half brace put them 2-0 up at the break. Sydney Schertenleib and Aitana Bonmati scored goals in injury time to complete the rout.
The Catalans will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 3-0 home win over Leuven. Chelsea ran away 6-0 away winners over St. Polten.
The win left them in fourth spot in the standings, having garnered seven points from three games. Barcelona lead the way at the summit on nine points.
