Barcelona hosts Chelsea on Saturday as the Blaugrana continue their quest for back-to-back UEFA Women’s Champions League titles.
These two sides met in the semifinal last season, and Barça will look to get off on the right foot in the last four with a positive result in the first leg.
Both managers, Barcelona’s Jonatan Giráldez and Chelsea’s Emma Hayes, will be departing after this season for jobs in the United States. Giráldez will take over as Washington Spirit head coach while Hayes will manage the U.S. women’s national team.
Hayes will be especially keen to end on a high, as she has won a host of domestic trophies but has never lifted the UWCL.
Barcelona is still on track for a quadruple this season, but Chelsea has stuttered in recent weeks with eliminations from the League Cup as well as the FA Cup.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
