Previous meeting
City’s hopes of reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stages were dashed after a 1-0 defeat in August 2022.
Caroline Weir came back to haunt her former club at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano with the only goal of the game early in the first half.
Gareth Taylor’s side rallied with chances falling to Laia Aleixandri, Bunny Shaw and Deyna Castellanos in particular which, on another day, could well have changed the story of the encounter.
But it wasn’t to be, meaning City’s European journey ended in qualification at the hands of the side who also knocked us out of the competition in the previous season.
Last time out
Alex Greenwood’s pinpoint free-kick 10 minutes before half-time proved the difference in South London, the 1-0 win at Charlton providing the perfect preparation for back-to-back home ties with Real Madrid and Arsenal in the next week.
An entertaining clash also saw Mary Fowler and Gracie Prior go close to a second, but we ultimately had to settle for a one-goal victory.
