Barcelona HAMMER Manchester City in the Women's Champions League with runaway Spanish league leaders overwhelming rivals in 3-0 first-leg win after Chloe Kelly's missed penalty

Manchester City women will have to venture into unchartered territory if they are to keep their Champions League dream alive.

A humbling 3-0 defeat by Barcelona means Gareth Taylor's side face an uphill battle to make the semi-finals. No team has ever progressed to the next round after losing the first leg of a knockout game by three goals.

Barca have not conceded more than one goal in a game since they were beaten in the final of this competition by Lyon in 2019 and it will take an almighty comeback from City to prevent a possible re-run of that final in the round.
