BARCELONA LOST their 100% record in the Women’s Champions League but went top of the table on goal difference following a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Chelsea on matchday four at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
At the other end of the table, Paris St-Germain went bottom with a fourth successive defeat, this time losing 3-1 at home to Bayern Munich.
Barcelona have dominated previous fixtures against Chelsea, losing only once in eight meetings. They have knocked the Londoners out of the Champions League in each of the last three seasons, last year by a crushing aggregate score of 8-2.
This time, however, they were fortunate to come away with a point as Chelsea found the touch that had been beyond them so far this season, both in Europe and at home.
Australian international Ellie Carpenter gave Chelsea the lead after 16 minutes when she hammered home from the edge of the area after being put away by Aggie Beever-Jones near the halfway.
The Catalans levelled eight minutes later when Claudia Pina’s corner led to a scramble in the Chelsea box. When the ball fell at the feet of Ewa Pajor, she smashed it past Livia Peng and into the top right corner.
From then on, Chelsea had the best chances. Before half-time, Wieke Kaptein hit the inside of the post after a lovely lay-off from Alyssa Thompson.
In the second half, substitute Catarina Macario had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside while Carpenter, with the goal at her mercy, dragged her shot just wide.
The draw lifts Chelsea to sixth in the table, but they were leapfrogged by Bayern, who put PSG to the sword in Paris.
PSG captain Sakina Karchaoui gave her side the perfect start when she put them ahead in the 16th minute, but a minute later Linda Dallmann put the visitors back on level terms.
Just after the half-hour, Momoko Tanikawa slipped through the PSG defence before drilling the ball into the back of the net, Jovana Damnjanovic completing the win a minute from time.
Atletico Madrid climbed to eighth as they won 4-0 at Twente thanks to first-half goals from Amaiur Sarriegi and Julia Bartel and second-half strikes from Synne Jensen and Fiamma.
Roma picked up their first point with a 1-1 draw at Leuven. Evelyne Viens put the Italians ahead in the 18th minute, but Jada Conijnenberg’s 71st-minute penalty meant the points were shared.
