"I think we were the better team tonight, we had a really good performance and created a lot of opportunities,"
"We scored a great goal. I'm happy but frustrated because we could have won the game. Any time we play with this mindset and mentality, the players need to now how good we can be. We played against a strong opponent, everybody knows Barcelona's qualities. To be able to have this performance against them was really positive. The team need to be proud of the performance today, but also take belief and confidence from this performance."
Chelsea earned a 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the Champions League group stage after Ellie Carpenter opened the scoring in the 16th minute and Ewa Pajor equalised soon after. Catarina Macario had a Stamford Bridge strike ruled out for offside by VAR, and Carpenter missed a late chance. Chelsea recorded 0.99 expected goals to Barcelona's 0.91, with both teams having three shots on target from nine attempts. The Chelsea coach urged players to take belief and confidence from the performance. Barcelona remain top of the group and had knocked Chelsea out in last season's semi-finals.
