WHAT HAPPENED?

Erin Cuthbert's first half strike was enough to secure a vital victory for the Blues in the first leg of their semi-final tie at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. It marked a rare defeat for the Catalan giants, who had not been beaten on home soil since 2019.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The last time Barca suffered a home loss was against Sporting Huelva in the league in February 2019. Saturday's upset is also the first time Barcelona have failed to find the net in a match in two years, having last drawn a blank in a Champions League game at Wolfsburg in April 2022.
