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. Erin Cuthbert’s fine strike earned Emma Hayes’ Chelsea an impressive 1-0 win at holders Barcelona in the Women’s Champions League semi-final first leg on Saturday.
