Manchester United win their opening game of their Women’s Champions League run!

A first half penalty from Maya Le Tissier was enough for them to beat Vålerenga. A little bit of quality was missing in the attack to get more goals, but they’ll be satisfied with the win.

#UWCL

Women’s Football Talk @womensfootballtalk.bsky.social · 3d

Maya Le Tissier’s penalty has Man Utd in front against Vålerenga at HT! A good first half from the WSL side.

Elsewhere, Atlético Madrid are comfortably up by four goals against St. Pölten, and Wolfsburg lead 2-0 vs PSG.

Despite some late pressure, Chelsea are held to a 1-1 draw against Twente!

The Dutch champions went ahead through a great strike by Danique van Ginkel, before Sandy Baltimore converted a penalty to level things up.

A good point for Twente against one of the favourites.

#UWCL

One game filled with goals and the other still waits for an opener…

Real Madrid lead 3-2 against Roma in an action-packed first half, while Chelsea are being held by Twente.

OL Lyonnes get the win over Arsenal whilst Barcelona put seven goals past Bayern Munich!

A loss for the holders against the record winners, but the runners up from last season get off to a stunning start.

In the other tie that’s ended, Paris FC and OH Leuven drew 2-2

#UWCL

Women’s Football Talk @womensfootballtalk.bsky.social · 4d

It’s been a destructive first half attacking display from Barcelona as they lead Bayern by four goals to one!

Putellas, Pajor, Brugts and Paralluelo with their goals, and Bühl with the only one for Bayern, who have struggled against the runners up from last season.

#UWCL

Women’s Football Talk @womensfootballtalk.bsky.social · 4d

A Dumornay double turned it around for OL Lyonnes as the Haitian took advantage of Arsenal errors at the back.

Work to do for Arsenal in the second half after they did start well, but since going behind momentum has been with the away side.
