Barcelona put on an excellent display as they beat Manchester City 3-0 at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys to pip their opponents to top spot in Group D of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Both sides finished on fifteen points from their six group games and progressed into the knockout stages, but Pere Romeu’s side secured the home quarter-final due to a better head-to-head record than City.

The hosts forced Khiara Keating into several excellent saves early on, before Claudia Pina gave them the lead right at the end of the first half, latching on to the ball in the box before firing into the corner.

Balon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati doubled Barcelona’s lead early in the second half, poking the ball past Keating following an excellent breakaway.

Substitute Alexia Putellas made it three with a brilliant strike from outside the box, as the reigning champions of the UEFA Women’s Champions League proved just too good for the English side.

Barcelona now travel to Costa Adeje Tenerife at the weekend in the Copa De La Reina, whilst City have a welcomed break until they face Ipswich in the FA Cup on the 12th of January.

City work the ball well before Foord strikes towards the corner and forces a save out of Catalina Coll

It is almost four! Pajor is played in-behind the City defence and looks set to score, but fires her shot over the bar.

Kerstin Casparij is shown a yellow card for a cynical foul.

Layzell Coombs replaces Park.

The visiting side must be extremely tired, as they have spent the majority of the match chasing after Barcelona, who have moved the ball too quickly for City.

The hosts make another change as Kika Nazareth replaces Paralluelo.

This has been a masterclass from the best side in the world. Barcelona have completely outplayed City and deservedly lead by three goals to nil.

This has been a masterclass from Barcelona and they all but secure the top spot in Group D. Just after coming on, Alexia Putellas picks up the ball on the edge of the box and strikes the ball into the back of the net, leaving Keating stranded.

BARCA CHANGE

goalscorer Pina is replaced by Alexia.

Claudia Pina gets in behind the City defence again, but Keating is equal to her strike. The visitors can't quite live with Barcelona right now.

Laura Blindkilde Brown is replaced by Lily Murphy.

Barcelona currently move to the top of Group D! Bonmati is played in by Pajor and breaks away from the City defence, before poking the ball through the legs of Keating. The reigning champions have been excellent.

Barcelona are really piling the pressure on here at the start of the second half, but so far City are defending resolutely.

You may be able to guess... another excellent save from Keating, pushing a long-range effort round the post. This is the performance of a lifetime from the City keeper.

Keating makes yet another brilliant save! Pina breaks away just seconds into the second half and looks set to score, but the City goalkeeper denies her again.
