UWCL: PSG join FC Barcelona in quartefinals, Chelsea top group

Paris Saint-Germain joined Barcelona in sealing progress to the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals with two games to spare after clinching top spot in Group B with victory at Real Madrid while Chelsea were made to sweat for three points against Servette FCCF.

Paris Saint-Germain have qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2021/2022 UEFA Women’s Champions League after a 0-2 win over newcomer Real Madrid at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium, Madrid.

Marie-Antoinette Katoto opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before Sakina Karchaoui’s strike doubled the lead in the 70th minute.

The Parisians remain the only side yet to concede in this season’s competition, boasting 12 points out of 12 as they booked a quarter-final place as Group B winners.

Chelsea moved three points clear at the top of Group A, at the expense of Servette’s hopes. Having been six up inside 38 minutes in last week’s 7-0 win at Servette, Chelsea found themselves frustrated for more than an hour and were nearly caught out when Zecira Musovic got down well to deny a Mónica Mendes back-heel.

Samantha Kerr who recently extended her contract with the Blues scored the lone goal in the 67thth minute after being set up by Fran Kirb.

Amandine Soulard was red carded for Servette Geneve after two bookable offences.
