Barcelona, who beat Emma Hayes’ Chelsea 4-0 in the 2021 final, have now reached the semis for six consecutive seasons.

BARCELONA EASED TO a 3-1 win over Brann on Thursday to set up a repeat of last season’s Women’s Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, progressing 5-2 on aggregate.

Tomine Svendheim’s second-half goal gave a strong travelling contingent reward for their noisy support, but Guijarro, who scored twice in last season’s final, killed off any chance of an unlikely comeback. Ballon d’Or winner Bonmati sent a deflected effort narrowly wide, while Alexia Putellas, who boasts two of the awards, curled in an inviting cross for Irene Paredes, whose header was tipped away.

Barcelona grabbed their second on the night when Graham Hansen glided inside effortlessly and her blocked cross sat up nicely for Rolfo to tap home in the 56th minute.
