Match Stats

Manchester City W:

Manchester City Women begin their Women's Champions League group stage journey with a challenging home match against reigning champions Barcelona. This marks City's first appearance in the group stage, following two seasons of disappointment in qualifying. However, they have shown their strength this season, thrashing Paris FC with an 8-0 aggregate in qualifying and making a solid start in the Women's Super League. With home wins over Brighton and West Ham, as well as a draw against Arsenal, Man City sit atop the WSL standings. Although they face a formidable opponent in Barcelona, City's unbeaten home record this season gives them reason for optimism.


Barcelona W:

Barcelona Women are ready to defend their European title after securing three Women's Champions League trophies in the last four seasons. Under new head coach Pere Romeu, Barcelona has continued its impressive form with five consecutive Liga F victories, including a 10-1 win over Granada and an 8-1 comeback against Madrid CFF. The Spanish champions aim to carry their free-scoring form into the Champions League, as they look to extend their eight-game unbeaten streak in European away matches. As the Blaugrana visit Manchester, they hope to demonstrate why they are the team to beat once again in this year’s competition.


Prediction: 2-2
