Paris: With a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday, Chelsea moved to the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals, while Paris Saint-Germain’s third consecutive win put them in the running for the playoffs.
Just after the hour, Guro Reiten’s penalty gave Chelsea the lead at Stamford Bridge. Madrid’s substitute Athenea equalized, but the English champions won Group D after goalkeeper Mylene Chavas misdirected Erin Cuthbert’s shot into her own net.
The Swedish team Hacken is currently ranked second in the section, one point ahead of Paris FC following their goalless draw in Gothenburg. Madrid, who have already been eliminated, lost for the fourth time in five games.
After a 3-1 victory over Ajax, PSG, who started the campaign with back-to-back losses in Group C, assumed top place and prevented their opponents from qualifying with one game remaining.
At the Parc des Princes, Marie-Antoinette Katoto scored twice for the home team before Romee Leuchter gave the Dutch team a response.
