"Chelsea clinched an automatic place in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals by coming from behind to stun Wolfsburg and avoid having to contest February's playoffs. Sam Kerr won the game with her 20th Champions League goal, heading in Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's cross. Chelsea survived a late scare when the German side struck the crossbar in the 94th minute, but will now contest the last eight in March."
"Manchester United, who were already guaranteed at least a playoff spot before kick-off, also enjoyed a memorable away night as they beat Juventus to claim one of the top seeding positions for the playoffs. Jess Park's fine, first-half strike into the top corner in Turin was enough to give Marc Skinner's side victory and propel them up to sixth in their debut campaign in Europe."
Chelsea recovered from an early deficit to beat Wolfsburg and secure an automatic place in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals, with Sam Kerr heading in Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's cross for her 20th Champions League goal. Chelsea equalised through Lucy Bronze before half-time and survived a late 94th-minute crossbar strike by Wolfsburg. Manchester United defeated Juventus in Turin via Jess Park's first-half top-corner strike, moving United to sixth in their debut European campaign and earning a top seeding for the playoffs. The knockout-phase draw will determine matchups for the 12 remaining clubs, with Barcelona and Lyon, and Chelsea and Bayern separated in the draw.
