Barcelona beats Chelsea 1-0 in Women’s CL semis 1st leg -
Graham Hansen put Barcelona ahead just four minutes into the match at Stamford Bridge when the Norway forward cut in from the right and drilled a long-range shot into the top corner.
“We deserved this result, Chelsea didn’t have too many good chances. It’s just a pity we didn’t come away with a couple of goals more.” Barcelona upped the pressure after halftime, though, and top playmaker Aitana Bonmati got more involved with touches in the midfield. After that, Chelsea rarely had the ball in Barcelona’s half and was fortunate to still be in the tie.
Barcelona entered the tie on a run of 60 consecutive Spanish league wins, including all 25 games this season - its last domestic loss was in July 2021 - even though it can’t count on two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas.
