Bookmakers for Champions League knockouts view the Blues as underdogs. Chelsea has odds of 4.75 (15/4) to win. Barcelona is the favourite with 1.50 (1/2) odds for an away victory. The Chelsea W vs Barcelona UWCL 24/25 odds for a draw stand at 4.33 (10/3).
Last week’s 4-1 victory marks the third time Barcelona have defeated Chelsea in their previous five meetings. The Blues have one win and a draw in five games.
Chelsea Women are chasing an unprecedented quadruple this season. They’ve already won the Women’s League Cup, reached the FA Cup final, and remain unbeaten in 18 league games. Their bid for a fifth straight WSL title looks promising with 48 points, but European glory hangs in the balance.
A heavy 4-1 first-leg loss to Barcelona threatens their Champions League run. Notably, the Blues have beaten Barcelona only once in their previous six meetings and have been eliminated by them in three of their last four Champions League campaigns. Despite Chelsea’s resilience and home advantage, the three-goal deficit makes this one of their most challenging tasks. The Blues will draw comfort from the 4:0 win against Crystal Palace heading into this clash.
Chelsea will be without Kerr, James, Ingle, Buchanan, Liefting, and Musovic. Defender Bjorn remains a doubt after picking up a knock.
Barcelona are aiming for a record-equalling fifth consecutive UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) final. The reigning champions have dominated both domestically and in Europe under Pere Romeu’s leadership. They took a commanding step with a 4-1 first-leg win over Chelsea, showing their clinical quality through Pajor’s opener and Pina’s brace.
Now unbeaten in 17 two-legged UWCL ties, Barça Femeni remain the team to beat. Their quest for a fourth European crown in five years looks firmly on track as they push to match Lyon’s historic run in the competition with another final appearance.
Kika Nazareth remains out for the season with ankle ligament damage. However, Mapi LeĂłn has been cleared to play.

Claudia Pina has showcased her brilliance in this tournament, scoring nine goals in seven matches. This includes two goals against Chelsea during the first leg last Sunday, despite joining the game at the 66th minute. That was Pina’s 2nd brace in the 2024-25 UEFA Women’s Champions League Knockouts after scoring two in the quarterfinal against Wolfsburg. We expect her to score again this weekend.
