MANITOBA, Canada—With the UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal ties set to resume this weekend, Canada’s Women’s national team is well represented with three Canadians remaining in the tournament at this point, matching the showing at the same point in last year’s competition.
Ashley Lawrence and Jordyn Huitema’s Paris St. Germain are up first as they look to overturn an away-goals disadvantage against Barcelona after a 1-1 first leg draw. In the first leg, Lawrence featured for PSG initially in a right wing position before moving to right back (so, the reverse of what we’ve seen in recent CanWNT matches) while Huitema was an unused substitute after featuring from the bench in both legs of their quarter-final tie against Lyon.
