Manchester City 0-0 Barcelona
Barcelona goalkeeper Cata Coll takes a massive risk inside her own penalty area, producing a Cruyff turn only yards away from her goal to keep it away from Jess Park charging in.
All credit, it was great skill. But high, high risk.

"Yui, Yui, Hase-gawa" sing the Manchester City fans to our right as she stops Aitana Bonmati in her tracks.
The Japan international needs to have the game of her life tonight!
Manchester City 0-0 Barcelona
Khaidja Shaw almost gets the ball on the right foot in the penalty area but a vitally important foot in from Barcelona. Jess Park also had an effort headed off the lead. City do win a corner, but that could have been more

When you have waited that long to be back in the Champions League, what better match than to have the champions visit your home.
What better way to work out where you stand in this European elite. Whether you are up there and ready to compete, or whether it is going to take a little bit longer.

Don't fancy City's makeshift defence against this powerful Barcelona side.

Manchester City 0-0 Barcelona
Nearly a dream start for Caroline Graham-Hansen and Barcelona as she shoots against the post. Did Ayaka Yamashita get a touch in the City goal? If she did, it's a great save.
Either way, Barcelona so close to getting an early goal.
Manchester City 0-0 Barcelona
And we are under way at Joie Stadium.

I want to see Manchester City on the front foot, I want to see them press Barcelona, be aggressive and force them into mistakes. If you can press them high, get the ball back around the 18-yard box that is where you are likely to cause them problems. But it takes a very brave team to go all-out against Barcelona.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City boss Gareth Taylor said his side are playing the best team in the world in Barcelona.
"I would say they are the best team in the world, especially over the period of the last four or five years," he said.
"Barcelona have really dominated in this last three-year period. In terms of that taking the pressure off us, not at all. We've worked tremendously hard to be here.
"The cream always rises to the top. We want to see the best players on the best stage and this is what it is."

Barcelona defender Ingrid Engen speaking to DAZN: "We talk about it [winning the Champions League again] before. These are the games we are looking most forward to. It's going to be a great game and we are ready to start again."
On the challenge Man City's forwards pose: "They have some really strong attackers with some very good quality so it will be our job to try to stop them as good as possible. Also we will look at what we can do with the ball to challenge them."
On extending Barca's unbeaten start to the season: "It's really important to get a good start. We will go in and hopefully win it."

Image source, Getty ImagesThe Athletic's Barcelona correspondent, Pol Ballus, tells BBC Radio 5 Live how valued Keira Walsh is at the club: "She is really appreciated here in Barcelona. The fact she became a starter in a midfield where you have Alexia Putellas, Aitana Bonmati and Patri Guijarro tells you a lot.
"We all know the signing of Keira Walsh was partly fuelled by the long-term injury to Putellas before the Euros. But she has established herself in a really positive way. She is a really loved member of the dressing room.
"There were a lot of rumours of her being about to leave last summer, there was a lot of interest from England and Barcelona said no. She is expected to start against Man City and she is in good form."

It's going to be an incredible game. When I was at Man City we played Barcelona away and got the tactics wrong. You don't want to just sit in and just let them have the ball. Then at home we went for it, we pressed them. They do not like pressure on the ball.
Man City have to play their style because they play lovely football, but they have to go for it at the same time.
You can't let them get into a rhythm.

This is a game that has attracted lots of familiar faces. Former Manchester United manager Casey Stoney is here and so is England manager Sarina Wiegman.
The Lionesses squad is being announced next week for their upcoming matches against Germany and South Africa. There's plenty of English talent on show.
Manchester City v Barcelona (20:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City captain Alex Greenwood says her club "belong" in the Women's Champions League and winning the competition would be the "pinnacle".
Tonight's match against Barcelona is City's first in the competition since falling to a 4-2 quarter-final aggregate loss to the Catalan side in March 2021.
Greenwood, who won the tournament with Lyon in 2020, said in the pre-match conference: "It's the pinnacle to win the Champions League. To win this competition is another level. It's exciting. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. We belong here. We’ve missed out and been frustrated by that."
England defender Greenwood and Chloe Kelly are the only two players remaining at City who featured in the club's last Champions League game, a 2-1 second-leg win over Barca in 2021.
"I don't remember it clearly, but I do remember the game," said Greenwood. "We played really well. Our team has changed so much since then. The way we prepare is different. We look different now and a lot more prepared."
Goals galore in the matches involving British sides.
And the fun hasn't stopped yet. Next up, Manchester City against European champions Barcelona.
Bayern Munich 5-2 Arsenal
Arsenal scored first through Mariona Caldentey, but that seems a long time ago. Glodis Perla Viggosdottir equalised, Bayern went ahead through Sydney Lohmann, only for Laia Codina to make it 2-2.
But a 13-minute hat-trick from Pernille Harder sees brilliant Bayern get the victory.
Bayern Munich 5-2 Arsenal
Arsenal's next game is at home to Chelsea on Saturday in what is already looking a must-win for the Gunners and Jonas Eidevall.
Pernille Harder (Bayern Munich, hat-trick)
Three goals for Pernille Harder and three points for Bayern Munich.
Giulia Gwinn sets up the goal with a cross, Harder's first shot is parried by Arsenal goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger, but the rebound falls back to her and she finishes from close range for her third goal in a 13-minute spell.
She then comes off to a great ovation and will have the match ball later on too.
Bayern Munich 4-2 Arsenal
What have Arsenal got? A cross from Kyra Cooney-Cross is catching practice for home keeper Maria Luisa Grohs.
Bayern Munich 4-2 Arsenal
Arsenal have now used all five substitutes, with Kyra Cooney-Cross and Rosa Kafaji the latest to come on after Steph Catley also came on earlier on.
No more cards for Jonas Eidevall to play now. He has to just sit and hope.
