Barcelona beat Atletico to secure spot in Women’s Champions League semi-finals

Barcelona are into the semi-finals of the Women’s Champions League after beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 on Friday in Bilbao.

A hard-fought match between the two Spanish rivals saw chances few and far between, although Barcelona had the better of the match.

Atletico, who were without several key players due to positive Covid-19 tests, also had goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl in fine form to deny Barca.

The Catalans finally made their dominance pay late in the game when Kheira Hamraoui scored the winner with a low shot into the corner on 80 minutes.
