Chelsea’s bid to win the Women’s Champions League for the first time in the club’s history ended in misery following a 4-0 defeat by Barcelona in Sunday’s final. But her side were totally outclassed by a ruthless Barcelona team who avenged their 4-1 final defeat to Lyon in 2019 to claim their own maiden Champions League title. In a chaotic opening to the final, the Blues could have drawn level with Pernille Harder wasting two promising opportunities. In 2019, Barcelona conceded four times inside 30 minutes on their way to a humbling 4-1 final defeat. The defeat ends Chelsea’s quadruple bid, a week after they sealed the Women’s Super League title with a 5-0 victory over Reading.
