Chelsea scoreless at Häcken and miss chance to go top in Women's Champions League above Barcelona

GOTHENBURG, Sweden (AP) — Chelsea missed the chance to go top of the Women’s Champions League on Tuesday, held 0-0 in Sweden by Häcken despite 28 attempts on goal.

The top three in the 18-team table — Barcelona, OL Lyonnes and Arsenal, who combined to win the past 11 titles — play later in the week. Chelsea’s failure to find the net lifted it from fourth to second, behind Barcelona which is the only team with three straight wins.

In the other early game, Real Madrid beat Paris FC 3-0 with all the goals arriving in the second half including from substitutes Lineth Beerensteyn and Linda Caicedo.

Madrid rose to sixth above Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, who faced each other later Tuesday at Parc des Princes.

Also Tuesday, English champion Manchester City was playing at Inter Milan and Roma was hosting 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.
