Read our privacy policy Chelsea ended the group stages of the Women’s Champions League with a 100 per cent record after coming back from a goal down to beat Real Madrid 2-1 in Spain. Scotland international Caroline Weir gave the home side an early lead as they looked to leapfrog their opponents and top Group B, but an inspired half-time substitution turned the tide in Chelsea’s favour. Hampton was less assured just five minutes later however as Real deservedly took the lead, the Chelsea goalkeeper getting her left hand to Weir’s well-struck shot but only succeeding in pushing it over her head and into the corner of the net. At the other end, Hampton’s opposite number Maria Misa tipped over a dangerous curling effort from the edge of the area from Guro Reiten, before Weir’s fantastic footwork saw her evade two Chelsea defenders and tee up Carmona to strike a left-footed shot narrowly wide.
