UCL Women’s Final: Barcelona thrash Chelsea by 4-0, Wins UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona beats Chelsea: Chelsea The women’s hopes of winning the Champions League relentlessly ended by Barcelona in Gothenburg on Sunday evening.

The English side failed to clear their lines after Lieke Martins’ long-range effort rocked the crossbar. With Fran Kirby clumsy clearing that hit Melanie Leupolz and got into the net.

Chelsea kept Barça away for the first half of the first half and they came out with new energy after the break.
Sam Kerr ruled out some early chances to put the Blues on the table. But she failed to convert in any case.

They mostly kept Chelsea away, with Pernille Harder’s 20-meter kick six minutes from the nearest end.
Barca then calmed the remaining time to win the Champions League title for the first time in their history.
While Barca will rightly be proud of their achievement. Hayes needs to reflect on her malice before the match. Which hit someone who underestimated the threat posed by the opposition.
Arsenal (2007) is the only English team to have won the competition. And the country’s clubs remain somewhat far from the best teams on the continent.
