In the first leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League Semifinals, Barcelona convincingly defeated Chelsea with a score of 4-1 at Estadi Johan Cruyff. Barcelona dominated possession with 64.1% and registered 19 total shots, 9 of which were on target. Chelsea, playing with a 4-2-3-1 formation, struggled to create opportunities, managing only 5 shots with 2 on target. Ewa Pajor opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 35th minute, while Clàudia Pina scored twice (70', 90') and Irene Paredes added another (82'). Sandy Baltimore scored Chelsea's only goal in the 74th minute.
The AI's pre-game prediction of a Barcelona win proved accurate, supported by their higher team rate of 0.915 compared to Chelsea's 0.76 and a win probability of 51.1% versus Chelsea's 25.0%. The game was not considered a balanced one by the AI. Barcelona's dominant performance reflects their recent form, as seen in their previous games where they scored many goals in the Spanish Liga F and UEFA Women's Champions League. Chelsea, while having mixed results in their domestic league and the Champions League, found it difficult to contain Barcelona's attack.
Barcelona's 4-3-3 formation proved effective in controlling the midfield and creating attacking opportunities. Barcelona's recent form has been strong, with high-scoring wins in their domestic league and Champions League matches, although they did suffer a loss to Real Madrid recently. Chelsea's form has been more inconsistent, with wins in the FA Cup and Super League interspersed with a draw against West Ham and a loss to Manchester City in the Champions League.
The upcoming second leg at Stamford Bridge will be crucial for Chelsea, who will need to overturn a significant deficit. Considering Barcelona's recent dominance and higher team rate for the next match (Barcelona 0.919 vs Chelsea 0.744), Chelsea faces an uphill battle. Chelsea will need to improve their defensive organization and find a way to create more attacking opportunities. Looking back to the previous head-to-head matches, the game in 2024 saw Barcelona winning 2-0 away, which would give them confidence going into the return leg.

On April 20, 2025, all eyes will be on Estadi Johan Cruyff as Barcelona hosts Chelsea in a highly anticipated UEFA Women's Champions League clash. An AI prediction model gives Barcelona a 51.1% chance of winning, with Chelsea at 25.0% and a draw at 23.9%. The AI gives a rate of 0.915 to Barcelona and 0.76 to Chelsea, which also indicates the favorite.
Barcelona, fresh off a dominant run in the Spanish Liga F, including a recent 5-1 victory over Sevilla, enters the match as slight favorites. Their attacking prowess, led by Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas and rising star Salma Paralluelo, will be a major threat to Chelsea's defense. Putellas' vision and precise passing, combined with Paralluelo's blistering pace and clinical finishing, make them a formidable duo. Barcelona's recent form has been impressive, with the exception of a 1-3 loss against Real Madrid.
However, Chelsea, despite a less consistent run including a draw against West Ham, cannot be underestimated. Their recent 2-1 win over Liverpool in the English Women's FA Cup demonstrates their resilience. Chelsea's hopes rest on the shoulders of their captain, Millie Bright, whose leadership and defensive solidity are crucial. The AI predicts a narrow victory for Barcelona, but with the unpredictable nature of football, anything is possible in this Champions League encounter.
