Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain both reached the semifinals of the Women’s Champions League with dominant performances to set up two thrilling clashes in the last four.
Goals from Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí, Fridolina Rolfö and Patricia Guijarro earned defending champion Barça a 3-1 win over Norwegian side Brann, as the Catalan club advanced 5-2 on aggregate to set up a showdown against Chelsea. Meanwhile, PSG will face Lyon in an all-French clash after beating Swedish side Häcken 3-0 in Thursday’s second leg and 5-1 on aggregate thanks to goals from Tabitha Chawinga, Korbin Albert and Marie-Antoinette Katoto.
“Quarterfinals are never easy and I think that it’s useful to have something to work on – to let people know that we have to up it a notch for the semis.” Barcelona has now extended its club-record unbeaten run in the Women’s Champions League to 15 matches and matched Lyon’s record of reaching six straight semifinals, according to UEFA stats. “Tonight was a good example of what my team are,” Barcelona head coach Jonatan Giráldez added.
