Man City won 2-0 on Oct. 9, 2024.Title holder Barcelona was beaten 2-0 by Manchester City on Wednesday to start its defence in the Women ’s Champions League with a rare loss in the group stage.
Man City’s performance outshone even that of Bayern Munich and Pernille Harder, who scored a 13-minute hat trick late in a 5-2 win over Arsenal. The Spanish team’s stellar lineup was hustled out of its rhythm early by Man City, which struck a post in the 16th from Lauren Hemp’s shot at the end of a slick move.
The veteran Denmark forward rose highest five minutes later to meet a cross by Klara Buhl with her head, then got her third in the 86th when bundling the ball past Arsenal goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger at the second attempt.
