They couldn’t do it again could they?

Winners of the competition the past two years in a row, Barcelona are hoping to complete an unprecedented hat-trick of Women’s Champions League victories this year.

Barca breezed past Wolfsburg 10-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, winning 4-1 in the away leg before following that up with a 6-1 home win to remind the world they are still the team to beat.

The Supercopa de Espana is in the bag already, the Liga F title is close to being wrapped up following Wednesday midweek 5-1 thrashing of Sevilla and they are in the Copa de la Reina final and favourites to win that one.

They are once again going for a quadruple they famously managed to win last year and will want to reach a fifth successive European final.

Standing in their way of doing so however, are Chelsea, another team desperate to win their own quadruple and who have plenty of history with Barca in this competition.
