Barcelona reminded everybody why they are the reigning European champions as they produced a scintillating performance to dismantle Manchester City and claim top spot in Group D in the Women’s Champions League.
The Spanish league leaders, who have won all 13 of their domestic matches this season with a +50 goal difference, played with a great intensity and with such high quality on the ball that they could easily have won the game by a humiliating margin. Thanks largely to a superb performance from the Manchester City goalkeeper, Khiara Keating, who produced five top-quality saves, and some wasteful finishing, the home side had to settle for a mere 3-0 victory. But that scoreline was still sufficient for them to overhaul their 2-0 defeat in October’s reverse fixture in Manchester and top the group by virtue of their superior record in these two side’s head-to-head meetings.
