💫 UWCL: Chelsea sink Celtic; Lyon stage remarkable comeback vs Roma .

The Women's Champions League group stage resumes this evening, with several notable teams in action.

Diani's quickfire brace sinks Roma

Lyon won their second match against Roma in just over a week, this time 3-1.

Roma formed a defensive structure to keep Lyon at bay, and they were successful for an extended period.

The Giallorosse were content to hit Joe Montemurro's side on the break, and their strategy paid off when 18-year-old Giulia Dragoni timed her run perfectly to hammer home a top-quality strike with only 15 minutes remaining.

However, the lead was short-lived, as Kadidiatou Diani scored from close range following a corner just three minutes later.


 Two minutes later, lightning struck again as another corner was sent into the box, and Diani finished high into the roof of the net.

Eugénie Le Sommer sealed the victory just 80 seconds after coming on as a replacement, smashing a goal into the top corner after a wonderful pass from Diani with the outside of her boot.


Wendie Renard, an experienced defender, then scored a fourth in stoppage time with a looping header from another Lyon corner.

Lyon's winning streak continued, and they advanced to the competition's quarterfinals.

Chelsea stroll to Celtic victory.

Chelsea put together a professional display, defeating Celtic 3-0.

Celtic stunned Chelsea last week by taking an early lead, but there would be no repeat this week, as Lucy Bronze scored after only one minute with a stunning volley from a Catarina Macario corner.


Guro Reiten crossed in following a short corner, and Wieke Kaptein converted with a looping header.

In stoppage time, the Blues were granted a penalty, which Ève Périsset converted.

Chelsea are already advanced to the quarterfinals as a consequence.

Wolfsburg defeats Galatasaray thanks to a hat-trick from Popp

Alexandra Popp was the standout performer as Wolfsburg defeated Galatasaray 5-0 at home.

The Turkish team suffered a 5-0 home defeat at the hands of Wolfsburg last week, and the reverse fixture continued in the same vein as Popp pounced on a loose ball inside the area and quickly finished.

Popp scored again after 15 minutes, this time with a header at the far post off a Lynn Wilms corner.


To add insult to injury for the Turkish team, Janina Minge made it three with a rocket of a shot into the top corner from the edge of the box just over half an hour in.

With just two minutes remaining, striker Popp completed her hat-trick by rising highest to tip in another Wilms assist.

Lena Lattwein scored in stoppage time, mirroring the score line from the previous week.

Real Madrid rallies to defeat determined FC Twente.

FC Twente made Real Madrid work hard, but they still won 3-2 on the night.

After being thrashed 7-0 in Madrid, FC Twente took an unexpected lead at home.

Alieke Tuin sent a free kick into the box from the right side, which was then pushed home by Jaimy Ravensbergen to the crowd's joy.

On the stroke of half-time, Real Madrid got back in the game when Linda Caicedo's frantic run resulted in her shot being saved, only for the Colombian to convert the rebound from the subsequent shot.


 Caicedo then switched provider, sending in a dangerous cross from the right side that Signe Bruun blasted home from inside the box.

Twente increased the pressure as the minutes passed, and Ravensbergen was unlucky not to equalize, but Alba Redondo broke through the defensive line on the break to finish in the back of the net.

Sophie te Brake scored the game's final goal, but Real Madrid were simply too powerful.

By the end of the game, Madrid had almost surely qualified for the quarterfinals.

The European matches continue tomorrow evening with Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus, Arsenal, and Barcelona all in action.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has shifted his opinion on Casemiro.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has opted to offer Casemiro the opportunity to stay in his squad for another season. INEOS entered their first summer in charge of United with the goal of improving the club's financial status by making substantial sales and reducing the pay bill in order to revitalize Ten Hag's squad without being concerned about FFP requirements. Multiple reports stated that Casemiro will be one of the first players to leave Old Trafford this summer, with Saudi clubs reportedly showing strong interest in his services.
