Chelsea misses chance to lead Women’s Champions League. Bayern beats PSG to go 2nd behind Barcelona

Chelsea missed the chance to go top of the Women’s Champions League on Tuesday, held 0-0 at Häcken before Bayern Munich rose to second by winning at Paris Saint-Germain.

The top three heading into Tuesday in the 18-team table — Barcelona, OL Lyonnes and Arsenal, who combined to win the past 11 titles — play later in the week.

Just one of Chelsea’s 29 goal attempts finding the net in Sweden would have been enough to take the London club above Barcelona, the only team to start with three straight wins.

Bayern’s 2-1 win at PSG in a later game lifted the German champion into second place on eight points.

Manchester City’s 4-1 victory at Inter Milan, a first win after three draws, carried the English champion into seventh place.

Real Madrid beat Paris FC 3-0 with all the goals arriving in the second half including from substitutes Lineth Beerensteyn and Linda Caicedo. Roma won 2-1 against visiting Servette.

Barcelona, the defending champion, will play Arsenal in a standalone game Thursday that is a rematch of the 2025 final won by the English side.

Lyonnes goes to fifth-place Juventus on Wednesday. Benfica’s scheduled game on the same day at home to Austria Vienna is postponed because of forecast stormy weather.

Chelsea’s low-scoring run continues
Only three goals have been scored by Chelsea in its four games in this Champions League campaign, earning eight points for coach Sonia Bompastor’s team.

Chelsea went 0-for-29 in goal attempts at Häcken though Maika Hamano’s shot clipped the top of the crossbar entering stoppage time.

Goalkeeper Livia Peng made it four straight clean sheets for Chelsea in the competition, while at the other end of the field Häcken’s Jennifer Falk won the player of the game award.

Harder the key to Bayern’s win in Paris
Bayern took a deserved two-goal lead before halftime as Denmark star Pernille Harder tormented the PSG defense.

Harder’s forceful run in the 29th minute got her to the byline, and her low cutback into the goalmouth went in off goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek’s heel for an own goal.
