UEFA Women's Champions League News
Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier took comfort in an improved second-half performance after a 3-0 defeat to OL Lyonnes in their Champions League clash.
Man United may want to be a domestic and European powerhouse but, on Wednesday, the ever-impressive OL Lyonnes showed Marc Skinner's side just how far they have to go.
Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor said motivation was no problem after her much-changed side hammered Roma 6-0 in the Women's Champions League to put hopes of automatic progress to the quarterfinals in their own hands.
Despite Pernille Harder scoring a brace, Vilde Bøe Risa's opener and Fiamma Benítez's late stunner give Atletico Madrid a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich.
Enjoy all that happened from Wednesday's matches in matchday five of the UEFA Women's Champions League.
