League Phase
Juventus 2-1 SL Benfica
Arsenal 1-2 OL Lyonnes
Barcelona 7-1 Bayern Munich
Paris FC 2-2 OH Leuven
Arsenal took a seventh-minute lead against OL Lyonnes, Beth Mead battling her way into the box and playing in Alessia Russo to finish back across the goalkeeper.
The lead lasted little more than 10 minutes, Daphne van Domselaar initially saving from Melchie Dumornay after playing the ball straight to her, before the Haitian tucked home the rebound.
Lyon had turned the game round by midway through the half, possession too easily conceded by Arsenal again and Dumornay doubling her tally from outside the box.
Barcelona took a 3-0 lead within 30 minutes against Bayern Munich, a fine Alexia Putellas strike added to by Ewa Pajor after Irene Paredes’ header came back off the bar, Esmee Brugts with the third. Klara Bühl replied, only for Salma Paralluelo to make it 4-1 at the break. Pajor got her second of the night before the hour mark, Clàudia Pina adding a late double.
Daphné Corboz took only three minutes to put Paris FC ahead against OH Leuven, Clara Mateo doubled the advantage. Kim Everaert halved the deficit early in the second half and Sára Pusztai drew the Belgian side level.
Juventus overcame an early deficit to defeat SL Benfica 2-1. The opener from Lúcia Alves was cancelled out by Cecilia Salvai, who also grabbed the winner in the 86th minute.
