Barcelona made the clearest statement of the 2026/27 Women’s Champions League league phase with a 6-0 win away to Roma. Caroline Graham Hansen scored twice, Claudia Pina added a brace, and Ewa Pajor finished the scoring after an own goal. It was a ruthless display from the holders and followed their 5-2 win over Paris FC a week earlier.

The rest of the night was more mixed. Bayern Munich recovered from their opening draw with Manchester City to beat Benfica 3-0, with Klara Bühl, Pernille Harder and Franziska Kett all scoring late. Juventus bounced back from their matchday one defeat with a 3-0 win at Häcken. Arsenal, however, dropped points in a 2-2 draw at Paris FC after leading through Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway. Lyon and Chelsea played out a goalless draw, with a late Lauren James penalty overturned by VAR.

The results leave Barcelona and Lyon looking the strongest early contenders, while Arsenal and Chelsea both know they left points behind. Matchday 2 continues on Thursday with Manchester City hosting Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain facing OH Leuven.
