UWCL Wednesday Roundup: Barcelona Thrash HB Køge 8-0 as Juventus Win 4-1 and Man City Are Held by PSG

Barcelona thrashed HB Køge 8-0 in the Women’s Champions League, while Juventus won 4-1 at Austria Wien. Manchester City were held 1-1 by Paris Saint-Germain, and Paris FC drew 1-1 with Häcken.

Barcelona were ruthless in Denmark against HB Køge. Caroline Graham Hansen scored a penalty in the 12th minute, and Ewa Pajor added a second in the 33rd from a Clàudia Pina pass. Esmee Brugts, Patri Guijarro and Clara Serrajordi all scored in the second half, with Kika Nazareth making it six in the 67th minute. Pina then got two of her own, in the 70th and 85th minutes, to finish off the rout. Barcelona led 2-0 at the break and had eight different players involved in the goals.

Manchester City had a night to forget at the Joie Stadium against Paris Saint-Germain. It was a quiet game until Khadija Shaw broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after Griedge Mbock Bathy brought her down. PSG hit straight back, though, and Tara Elimbi Gilbert slotted past Ayaka Yamashita in the 88th minute to level. City still have no win in Europe this season. They have drawn all three of their league phase games, though they remain unbeaten in all competitions. Shaw missed a few chances earlier on, including a header that went wide and a shot that was tipped behind. Manchester City still have Inter Milan, BK Hacken and Austria Wien to play, and they are well placed to qualify.

Juventus came from a quiet first half to win comfortably in Vienna. Martina Pavan put them ahead in the 39th minute, and Alba Redondo scored a penalty in the 63rd. Austria Wien’s Cordes pulled one back in the 78th minute, but Kathleen Sylla made it 3-1 three minutes later, and Júlia Bartel added a fourth in stoppage time. Juventus had a comfortable night.

Paris FC and Häcken drew 1-1 at the Stade Sébastien-Charléty. Élodie Viens scored inside two minutes for the hosts, but Anvegård equalised in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Paris FC’s Mateo was sent off in the 90th minute, and Häcken took full advantage of it.
