But now all eyes are on Saturday’s showdown against Barcelona at the Joie Stadium.

City most recently faced Barcelona in the 2024/25 UEFA Women’s Champions League, with both sides picking up a victory apiece in Group D.

The Blues’ triumph came at the Joie Stadium in October 2024, with goals from Naomi Layzell and Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw earning us a 2-0 win in front of a record crowd of 5,508.
