"Barcelona continued to flex their muscles in the Champions League as they defeated Roma 4-0 at the Stadio Tre Fontane. Following their 7-1 rout of Bayern Munich in their league phase opener, the Spanish side showed that they were no match for Roma as they remained at the top of the table. Barca only scored once in the first half despite producing 3.02 expected goals (xG), with Kika Nazareth assisting Esmee Brugts after two minutes."
"Lyon, who beat defending champions Arsenal in their first game, also maintained their winning start with a 3-0 win against St. Polten. Summer signing Jule Brand kick-started her Lyon career, finding the net for the first time since her move from Wolfsburg. The 22-year-old opened the scoring for the French side before assisting Lily Yohannes either side of captain Ada Hegerberg's strike on the stroke of half-time. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, secured a dramatic victory against Valerenga thanks to a 98th-minute penalty from Janina Minge."
