Champions League Women’s Semifinals Set for Action This Sunday

LYON, France — The UEFA Women's Champions League semifinals will conclude this Sunday, April 27, 2025, with Lyon and Barcelona holding significant advantages going into their respective second leg matches. Both teams aim to secure their spots in the final.

Lyon, the most decorated club in the tournament’s history with eight titles, faces Arsenal after winning the first match 2-1 at Emirates Stadium. Despite playing away, Arsenal seeks to overcome the deficit, needing just one goal to tie the aggregate score. If the match ends in a draw, it will go to extra time and potentially penalties, as there is no away goals rule.

Meanwhile, Barcelona enters its second leg against Chelsea with a commanding 4-1 lead. The Blues must win by at least three goals to force extra time or by four to win outright. Barcelona has built a strong reputation in recent years and is looking to maintain its edge.

The matches are scheduled as follows: Arsenal visits Lyon at Parc Olympique Lyonnais at 10:00 AM CDMX time, while Chelsea hosts Barcelona at Stamford Bridge at 7:00 AM CDMX time.

The winners of these matches will compete for the title on May 24, 2025, at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. The anticipated final promises to be a thrilling encounter featuring Europe’s top women’s clubs.
