Barcelona reached its third straight Women’s Champions League final with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Thursday, ensuring the Spanish club advanced 2-1 on aggregate
. Caroline Graham Hansen – who scored the only goal in the first leg – once again struck midway through the second half to give the Spanish giant the lead and a two-goal advantage over the two legs. But, in front of 72,000 fans at the Camp Nou, Guro Reiten equalized for Chelsea within five minutes to give the London side a glimmer of hope.
“Then, when Chelsea scored so soon after we went ahead it was time to ‘manage’ our performance and that’s key in elite football – you can enjoy yourself but you’ll always have to suffer.” Overcoming a one goal deficit already looked a tall task for Chelsea traveling to Spain; facing a team who had won its last 19 matches and in front of a raucous crowd – one which was only heightened further when it was announced that Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas was named on the bench.
