The UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal round begins on Saturday with the final four teams chasing a spot in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final. Four clubs representing three countries — FC Barcelona, Chelsea FC, Arsenal, and Olympique Lyon — will kick off the two-leg semifinals this weekend, with Barcelona and Chelsea meeting third consecutive time in the UWCL semifinal history. The two semifinal-winning teams will compete in the final at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 24.
In a familiar match-up, Barcelona will host Chelsea for the semifinal first leg on Sunday. The Catalonians have dominated the Blues in top-end meetings, including the 2020-21 UWCL final.
Sunday’s meeting will be the first UWCL meeting between the new coaching staff of both sides. Sonia Bompastor took over Chelsea after Emma Hayes’s departure to the U.S. women’s national team, and Pere Romeu leads Barcelona after Jonatan Giraldez moved on to manage in NWSL.
