Women’s Champions League: Man City ends Chelsea’s season-long unbeaten run; Barcelona thrashes Wolfsburg

The Hindu  

Manchester City ended Chelsea’s unbeaten run this season as Vivianne Miedema scored twice to give her team a 2-0 win in the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday. Four days after Chelsea beat City to win the English League Cup, injury-hit City became the first team to beat Chelsea under coach Sonia Bompastor in her team’s 29th game of the season. “Sometimes it’s easy to talk about tactics, but football is about running and making sure you put all your effort in on the pitch, so maybe we were a little bit sloppy in that aspect tonight.” It was the second of four consecutive games between Chelsea and City in the space of 12 days across three different competitions, and only City’s second game since reappointing interim coach Nick Cushing. Barcelona vs Wolfsburg Earlier, Barcelona took a big step toward a third straight Women’s Champions League title by beating Wolfsburg 4-1 in the first leg of their quarterfinal encounter.
