Barcelona easily won 3-1 against SK Brann (Norway) in the second leg of the quarter-finals on the morning of March 29th, securing their place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League with an aggregate score of 5-2 over two legs.
Barcelona easily beat SK Brann
Reigning Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati opened the scoring for the home side at the Johan Cruyff Arena in the 24th minute after a dazzling run and a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball beyond the reach of SK Brann goalkeeper Aurora Mikalsen. Completely dominating their opponents, Fridolina Rolfo extended Barcelona's lead to 2-0 in the 56th minute.

Just like in the first leg a week earlier, SK Brann put up a strong fight and surprisingly pulled one back to 1-2 thanks to a goal from Tomine Svendheim in the 70th minute. However, the visitors' hopes were quickly dashed when Patri Guijarro, the scorer of two goals in last season's final, scored the winning goal in the 88th minute, securing a 3-1 victory for the reigning European champions.
Barcelona reach the semi-finals for the sixth consecutive season.
With a squad featuring many key players from the Spanish national team that just won the 2023 Women's World Cup, Barcelona not only have a place in the semi-finals for the sixth consecutive season but also harbor high hopes of reaching the final for the fifth time in six years, or even winning their third title in the last four years.

Their opponent in the semi-finals is Chelsea, the team they defeated in the semi-finals last season with an aggregate score of 3-1. The "Blues" women's team has prepared very well for the rematch against the reigning champions by resting almost all of their key players in the second leg of the quarter-final at Stamford Bridge against Ajax Amsterdam.
Tatiana Ramirez opened the scoring for the English side in the 33rd minute before Ajax equalized in the 65th minute through Chasity Grant. This score remained until the end of the match, and Chelsea advanced with a 4-1 aggregate victory over two legs. Ironically, Chelsea reached the UEFA Women's Champions League final in 2021, and their 4-0 defeat was none other than… Barcelona!
Chelsea reach the semi-finals for the second consecutive year.
Burdened with debt, Chelsea will do everything they can to pay off Barcelona, even though in many respects they cannot match their Spanish rivals who possess a squad of very high-class players.
Paris Saint-Germain, like their male counterparts, have never reached the pinnacle of European women's football, despite reaching the final twice in 2015 and 2017. The "Parisian" women's warriors defeated Hacken 3-0 in the second leg, winning 5-1 on aggregate against the Swedish team to secure their place in the semi-finals.
PSG reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League.
Their opponent in the race for a place in the final will be their compatriots Olympique Lyon, record holders with 8 European titles between 2011 and 2020, and two other appearances in the UEFA Women's Champions League final. Olympique Lyon overcame Benfica (Portugal) with a 6-2 aggregate score in the quarter-finals.
Olympique Lyon
This all-French tie guarantees at least one French team will reach the final in Bilbao (Spain) this coming May. In the French Women's Football Championship, Olympique Lyon are leading the league after 18 rounds, 7 points ahead of second-placed PSG. In their two previous encounters this season, PSG lost 0-1 at home to Lyon and drew 1-1 in the return match.
