Barcelona vs Chelsea LIVE: Women’s Champions League result and final score

6 mins: Barcelona work the ball up to forward Asisat Oshoala who carries it into the penalty area. Aitama Bonmati arrives over on the far side and Oshoala looks to pick her out but miscues the pass and ends up sending the ball behind for a goal kick.

3 mins: Barcelona look a little nervous as Chelsea pressure their final third. The ball is sent into the box from the right side and Jessie Fleming lunges towards it but just can’t get there in time to touch it home.

Good start from Chelsea.

Chelsea get the ball rolling in this semi-final second leg. The Blues know they need to step up and score tonight so will look to be aggressive and take the game to the hosts

There are around 70,000 fans flooding into the Nou Camp ahead of kick off in just over five minutes time. This should be a cracking match but Chelsea come into it as huge underdogs.

Can they pull off a surprise victory?

Another huge crowd is expected tonight as Barcelona return to the Nou Camp, with ticket sales boosted by the possible return of Alexia Putellas.

A world record crowd of 91,648 was in attendence as Barcelona defeated Wolfsburg in last season’s semi-finals.

Barcelona have won their last five games played at the Nou Camp in the Champions League, scoring 24 goals over the past two seasons.

“I went to Camp Nou when I was 13, in fact I saw Barcelona against Chelsea,” revealed the Blues defender Magdalena Eriksson.

“It will be nice, but in terms of the game I have to treat it as any other match.

You have to go back as far as February 2019 to reach the last time Barcelona failed to win a home match in the women’s game. That was a surprise 3-2 defeat by Sporting de Huelva.

Since then Barca have racked up 60 straight wins at home in the league and in the Champions League their run of home wins is a 18 dating back to March 2018 and a 1-0 loss to Lyon.

Barcelona star Aitana Bonmati on facing Chelsea at the Nou Camp: “It would be great to reach our fourth Champions League final in front of our own fans at Camp Nou. But we can’t get ahead of ourselves. We have a small advantage, but we are going out to win, regardless.

“We are waiting impatiently for Alexia’s return, but everyone knows how important the game is to be able to reach our fourth final.”

Emma Hayes on the fitness of Fran Kirby, who has travelled with the squad despite being out with a knee injury that could yet see her miss the World Cup.

“Fran wanted to come with the team,” Hayes said. “She’s part of the team. (It is) great to have her with us. At this moment in time I don’t have any more updates.

“She has been on the grass a little bit but we are having to manage day by day what that looks like and I don’t have a timeline for her return.”

“If people think that we’ve already qualified, it’s understandable, but as a coach I’ve made no mention of Sunday [the chance to clinch the Spanish title against Sporting de Huelva] or the [Women’s Champions League] final.” said the Barcelona head coach

“I show the players what to improve. We must forget the first leg and go out to win.

“[Bronze] has a strain, an ailment. It’s a tiny intervention, just a couple of weeks ... Alexia Putellas has a chance to make the squad, but there is still [Wednesday] training and we have to assess very carefully what to do so that when she returns, she returns well. We will not take any risk with Alexia.

“The priority is to qualify for the final. As a coach I will not take any risk if she is not 100%.”

In other news, this summer’s Women’s World Cup has been embroiled in a major club vs country row after the European Club Association released a statement insisting players will be unable to join up with their national teams until just 10 days before the start of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

The European Club Association (ECA), whose members include clubs in England’s Women’s Super League, says it has “serious concerns” that players are not being given enough time to rest after the domestic season and will seek to “strictly adhere” to Fifa’s mandatory release period of July 10.

The news could come as a significant blow to England’s preparations, with the Lionesses having planned to meet up for their World Cup camp at St George’s Park several weeks before then in June. Sarina Wiegman had hoped for the Lionesses to have a send-off match in England in early July before arriving in Australia on July 7.
