"Manchester United made a dream start to life in the Women's Champions League as they sealed a 1-0 win over Valerenga in their first ever game in the competition. Maya Le Tissier's first-half penalty proved to be decisive at Progress with Unity Stadium, with the Red Devils the only Women's Super League side to win in Europe this week. Marc Skinner's team came close to making the dream start inside the first minute on Wednesday, but Elisabeth Terland's glanc header narrowly evaded the far-left post."
"Elsewhere, Real Madrid put on an impressive showing as they thumped Roma 6-2 at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, with Linda Caicedo helping herself to a hat-trick of assists. Alba Redondo's early opener was quickly cancelled out by Evelyne Viens before Madrid captain Caroline Weir restored Los Blancos' lead in the 22nd minute. However, Emilie Haavi drew Roma level 10 minutes before the break, only for Redondo to bag her brace in the 42nd minute, with Madrid continuing their dominance from there."
Manchester United secured a 1-0 victory over Valerenga in their inaugural Women's Champions League match, with Maya Le Tissier converting a 31st-minute penalty after Arna Eiriksdottir handled the ball in the box. United created early chances through Elisabeth Terland, Hinata Miyazawa and Melvine Malard, with Valerenga goalkeeper Tove Enblom making several important saves and a defender clearing a follow-up off the line. Jessica Park nearly doubled the lead immediately after half-time, and Julia Zigiotti Olme supplied United's only other shot on target as Phallon Tullis-Joyce remained largely untroubled to preserve the clean sheet. Real Madrid defeated Roma 6-2, boosted by Linda Caicedo's three assists and multiple goals including a brace for Alba Redondo and strikes from Caroline Weir, Maelle Lakrar and Eva Navarro.
