An early goal by Caroline Graham Hansen gave Barcelona a 1-0 win at Chelsea in the first leg of their Women's Champions League semifinal on Saturday in London, England.

Graham Hansen put Barcelona ahead just four minutes into the match at Stamford Bridge when the Norway forward cut in from the right and drilled a long-range shot into the top corner.

Substitute Marta Torrejon almost grabbed a second goal for the visitors when she headed off the post in the 82nd. The other semifinal starts on Sunday when Arsenal is at Wolfsburg.

Chelsea centre back Kadeisha Buchanan of Toronto was spotted on the sideline in a walking boot. She was injured recently and also didn't play a week ago in an FA Cup semifinal against Aston Villa.

Lucas Digne has been deposed from the defence and Villa have only lost twice in Moreno’s 15 appearances, with the Spaniard quickly becoming integral to the system. He is popular off the pitch too, ingratiating himself with fans with a recent interview in English, smiling throughout despite not yet having a full mastery of the language.
