the Blaugranas on the attack … Follow the Champions League semi-final second leg

A toe in the final. By winning in the first leg on the lawn of Chelsea (1-0), FC Barcelona had taken the advantage. The Blaugranas receive the Londoners at Camp Nou, Thursday, April 27, in the semi-final return of the Champions League. If nothing is decided yet, the statistics do not plead in favor of the teammates of Lauren James. In their three European semi-finals, Chelsea have never won away from home, losing 2-0 at Wolfsburg in 2018, then 2-1 at Lyon and Bayern Munich in 2019 and 2021.

Conversely, FC Barcelona won three out of four C1 semi-finals at home: 1-0 in 2019 against Bayern Munich, 2-1 against PSG in 2021 and 5-1 in 2022 against Wolfsburg. We have to go back to 2017 to find the trace of a defeat of the Catalans on their land in the last four of the Champions League, against Paris Saint-Germain (1-3). The mission promises to be difficult for the Blues.
