Barcelona To Face Chelsea In UEFA Women's Champions League Final
Barcelona Secure Fifth Final Appearance
FC Barcelona have qualified for their fifth UEFA Women's Champions League final after a thrilling semi-final victory over Chelsea. The Spanish giants secured a 2-1 aggregate win, with Aitana Bonmatí scoring the decisive goal in the second leg at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's Hopes Dashed
Chelsea's hopes of reaching a record-equaling third final were dashed by Barcelona's resilience and quality. Despite taking an early lead through Sam Kerr, the Blues were unable to hold on as Barcelona came roaring back in the second half.
Bonmatí's equalizer and a controversial penalty, which she converted herself, turned the tie in Barcelona's favor. The Catalans will now face Chelsea in the final on May 25, seeking to defend their title and secure a record-extending eighth Champions League triumph.
