Chelsea are halfway there after winning the first leg 1-0 away in Catalonia but Barcelona have the quality to turn this around. They have made a mockery of the Spanish league, dropping two points all season, scoring 106 goals in 24 matches, so notching a couple at Stamford Bridge is not exactly impossible.

important events
Latter half
here we go again!
The Premier League is currently being held.
Halftime: Chelsea 0-1 Barcelona (1-1 aggregate)
Bommatti’s deflected shot scored the winning goal just before the end of the first half, but Chelsea were showing signs of hope after conceding the goal. It should be an interesting second half.
45 minutes: Rolfo had a chance from long range, but her shot went just a few yards wide of Hampton’s goal.
3 minutes added.
44 minutes: Graham takes aim from about 25 yards, but his shot hits Buchanan’s thigh and goes over the bar. The corner will be empty.
Hayes doesn’t seem too happy with life at the moment.
42 minutes: This delay takes away most of the game’s tempo.
40 minutes: Chelsea seem to be thriving in the final third at the moment.
Paredes will be delayed a bit as he is undergoing treatment in the Barcelona box.
38 minutes: A terrible back pass was intercepted by Leupolz and she passed through the goal, but decided to pass the ball back to James, who missed the shot completely.
The home fans are not happy after the referee interferes with Leupolz just outside Barcelona’s box. Hayes is speaking with a fourth official just to be sure.
Gordon reached out as follows: “Chelsea are playing Barça in the middle third, but they are not pressing like they did last week. It’s going to be a difficult game for Chelsea right now.”
36 minutes: Macario snatches the ball from the air, takes a touch and fires a volley from 20 yards, but Col quickly crosses the line and palms clear.
34 minutes: Kanerid catches a pass from the right side, but the cross is easily caught by Col.
32 minutes: After a cut-back by James, Leupolz hit the bar and almost scored his goal. I’m not entirely sure how she missed it.
half an hour: Graham reaches the byline and passes the ball back to Palaruello, but Cuthbert slips in and takes a corner.
Hampton failed to respond to a corner kick and there was a pinball-like touch before the goalie recovered the ball.
28 minutes: Bommatti is down after being kicked in the face. Her nose is a little bloody and has been wiped.
goal! Chelsea 0-1 Barcelona (Bommati 25) 1-1 aggregate
The midfielder received the ball on the edge of the box, took it from his feet, took aim, and his shot hit Buchanan for a corner.
24 minutes: It will be a tough task for Chelsea, with Barcelona dominating possession. Charles races with Graham in the box and before he can clear, Chelsea win the ball back.
22 minutes: Barcelona wins a left CK. This went short and Chelsea cleared it at the front post.
Hampton was the first goalkeeper to be tested, saving Graham’s shot from the edge of the box down to his right.
20 min: Chelsea’s plan to break out is mainly to find James with a direct pass and hope the striker has the pace to do some damage. James receives a pass from the left and reaches inside the box, but he is forced to reverse.
18 minutes: Chelsea were unable to clear the ball and gave Barcelona a chance, but the Blues recovered and forced them out.
16 minutes: Chelsea enjoyed a decent period of possession, but it ended with a dreadful shot from Cuthbert, who ended up in the Z-row.
14 minutes: Hampton took a little too long to clear the back pass and almost got away with it. Pararuello chases her.
12 minutes: Barcelona look very clever in possession. It could be a difficult night for the Blues at Stamford Bridge, but they have managed to keep the visitors at bay so far.
10 minutes: Bronze put in a great cross into the box, but a poor touch from Patry meant the ball bounced out of play.
8 minutes: Chelsea were given little room to work with, which resulted in Buchanan sending an aimless ball over goal, but it didn’t reach anyone in blue.
After conceding a corner kick, Carter crashes into Hoarding. She seemed to hurt her elbow, but she stood up.
6 minutes: Stamford Bridge is packed. They watch Barcelona’s comfortable team run the ball around without threatening Chelsea’s defence.
4 minutes: Chelsea move the ball quickly and Macario tries to find James with a through ball, but she passes a little too far.
2 minutes: It was a tough start for both teams. Barcelona are doing everything they can, not giving Chelsea a second to get the ball.
kick off
Pee! Pee! Pee! Let’s go!
Gordon emails: “I’m looking forward to this big event at a packed Stamford Bridge. In terms of starters, I think Barça will use Batre and Rolfo on the left, with Canellid on the defensive side. Ramirez is a good choice for Chelsea. It was a big mistake, her hold-up play in the first leg was great, she’s probably injured.”
The players are on their way…
Emma Hayes: “You have to try to make it like any other game. You can’t pile things on too much or it takes a lot of energy away from what you have to do on the pitch.”
Why not just wear a shirt?
Look forward to the rest of the semis.
