Barcelona take their title defence to Rome on Wednesday, September 30, with the holders carrying a flawless start into their second Women’s Champions League group-stage match against Roma at the Stadio Tre Fontane.
The Catalan side opened their European campaign with a 5-0 win over Paris FC, driven by the attacking combination of Caroline Graham Hansen, Ewa Pajor and Kerolin. That result continued an emphatic opening to the season: Barcelona have won each of their six matches in all competitions, scoring 26 times while conceding only two goals.
Roma seek a first European win
Roma began their Champions League schedule with a goalless draw against Leuven and now face a far more demanding examination against the reigning champions. Their domestic season has been less dominant than Barcelona’s, although they did beat Sassuolo in their only league fixture so far.
The Italian club also reached the Serie A Women’s Cup final, where they were beaten on penalties. A result against Barcelona would therefore change the mood of Roma’s early season and give their European campaign real momentum.
