    GOAL - Barcelona 4-1 Chelsea

    Claudia Pina (90 mins)

    Tie over?

    It is too easy for Barcelona. Alexia Putellas, despite being surrounded by white shirts, is able to set Claudia Pina up with a back heel and the forward finds the net via a deflection off Millie Bright.

    Pina is the tournament top scorer, with two goals today and nine in total. Not a bad option off the bench.

  2. CLOSE!

    Barcelona 3-1 Chelsea

    Chelea are in real danger of being out of this tie in the first leg.

    Fridolina Rolfo plays a delicious low cross from the left which narrowly evades the home players. Millie Bright then dawdles on the ball, allowing Ewa Pajor to steal it and fire just over.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Barcelona 3-1 Chelsea

    Final changes for both sides.

    Sjoke Nusken replaces Mayra Ramirez for Chelsea, while for Barcelona, Salma Paralluelo makes way for Vicky Lopez.

    If Niamh Charles was playing I don't think Chelsea concede two of those goals.

  5. Barcelona 3-1 Chelsea

    Suddenly this game is alive in the final stages.

    Guro Reiten has a cross blocked behind for a corner.

    Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports

    Chelsea cannot concede again.

    2-1 would have been ok to take back home. 3-1 is a problem.

    I don't think you come back from 4-1.

  7. Barcelona 3-1 Chelsea

    On that Chelsea sub - was it wise to make a defensive change just before defending a set piece?

    One to ponder for Sonia Bompastor.

  8. 'A superb header'

    Barcelona 3-1 Chelsea

    Lucy Ward
    Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports

    That is a great goal for Barcelona.

    Irene Paredes gets herself free at the far post. Patri Guijarro had just dragged Lucy Bronze into a central area and Paredes didn't take her eyes off the ball. A superb header.

  9. SUBSTITUTION

    Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Before that goal Naomi Girma, the world's most expensive female footballer, was brought on for her Champions League debut. She replaced Nathalie Bjorn.

    For Barca, Fridolina Rolfo replaces Esmee Brugts.

    GOAL - Barcelona 3-1 Chelsea

    Irene Paredes (82 mins)

    Ah.

    Claudia Pina curls a brilliant corner to the far post and Irene Paredes buries her header from six yards despite Lucy Bronze's best efforts.

    Hannah Hampton had no chance.

    Commentator's push maybe?

    Omoade

  12. Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Nathalie Bjorn is getting treatment after a collision in the build up to that goal.

    There was also a brief VAR check for a Barcelona penalty, but correctly nothing was given.

  13. Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Hannah Hampton continues to keep Chelsea in this tie.

    Claudia Pina is fed in the area by Alexia Putellas, but her first time strike is well saved by Hampton.

  14. YELLOW CARD

    Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Now Claudia Pina is the first Barca player in the book for dragging down ex-team mate Lucy Bronze.

    Are the hosts rattled?

  15. Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    What is the opposite of the commentator's curse?

    As soon as I said Chelsea have been poor, they score a lovely goal.

    Now, can they build on that and find an equaliser?

  16. 'Best bit was Macario's ball'

    Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Lucy Ward
    Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports

    What a strike from Sandy Baltimore.

    The best bit about it was the ball from Catarina Macario. She didn't even look up, she just knew where to put it.

  17. Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Emma Sanders
    BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Estadi Johan Cruyff

    What a response! Sandy Baltimore immediately ran over to pick the ball out of the net. Chelsea’s players are acting as if this is the last 10 minutes of the second leg. They are desperate not to lose.

    GOAL - Barcelona 2-1 Chelsea

    Sandy Baltimore (74 mins)

    Hello!

    Out of nothing, a goal of pure quality by the visitors. Catarina Macario with a moment of class, playing a brilliant low ball across the pitch which Guro Reiten cleverly dummies.

    It runs to Sandy Baltimore, up the pitch from left back, who takes a touch then buries a shot from 18 yards into the far bottom corner.

  19. 'Pina is in the right place'

    Barcelona 2-0 Chelsea

    Lucy Ward
    Former Leeds striker on TNT Sports

    You can't help but think watcing this game that Barcelona always had a few more gears to go up.

    As soon as they step it up Claudia Pina is in the right place. They had always been threatening a second goal.

  20. YELLOW CARD

    Barcelona 2-0 Chelsea

    Catarina Macario is booked after catching Alexia Putellas late.

    Chelsea have been poor today, a 2-0 deficit is what they deserve.
