Barcelona reach Women’s Champions League final following draw with Chelsea at Camp Nou

Date:

Barcelona have progressed to the Champions League final for the third successive season after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea Women in the semi-final second leg at the Camp Nou on Thursday.

After a 1-0 win in the first leg at Stamford Bridge last Saturday, the Spanish side went 1-0 up in the 63rd minute thanks to a goal from Caroline Graham Hansen.

Chelsea responded four minutes later with an equaliser from Guro Reiten, but the draw on the night was enough to see Barcelona through to their third straight final.

They will face the winner of Arsenal and Wolfsburg, who play the second leg of their final next Monday at the Emirates.

72,000 spectators watched the game at the Camp Nou.

Two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas was named in the Barcelona squad for the first time since she suffered an ACL injury in July 2022 but was an unused substitute.

The final will be held on June 3 at the PSV Stadium in Eindhoven.
