Chelsea’s Scottish forward #22 Erin Cuthbert celebrates scoring the opening goal during the UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final first leg football match between FC Barcelona and Chelsea at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, on April 20, 2024.
Jonatan Giraldez’s side, who hammered Chelsea in the 2021 final and shaded a tight battle in last season’s semis against the Blues, were left frustrated in their first home defeat in over five years. “We know Barcelona are the best team in Europe and everything has to be perfect for you to get close to winning a game of football,” Hayes told reporters.
Having never beaten the Catalans before, the Blues set up with three centre-backs and plenty of grit.Salma Paralluelo had a sight of goal but her shot was deflected over, while Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati was kept under control.PSG get first win in Women's Champions League as Chelsea and Haecken draw
Barcelona came back out strongly and thought they had earned a penalty when Kadeisha Buchanan handled Patri Guijarro’s shot. Mayra Ramirez appealed for a penalty at the other end as she went down under a challenge from Irene Paredes and then blazed a fine chance for Chelsea’s second over the bar.Putellas should have levelled with virtually the last kick of the match but fired wide from close range with the goal gaping after a free-kick was nodded down to her in the box.
