Manchester City Beats Barcelona 2-0 in Opener

Barcelona is reportedly in advanced negotiations with an investor to bolster their financial standing through the Barça Vision project under Bridgeburg Invest. Meanwhile, Manchester City secured a significant 2-0 victory against Barcelona in their UEFA Women’s Champions League opener, marking a strong start to their campaign. Naomi Layzell scored the first goal, her first for City, in the 36th minute, followed by Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw doubling the lead in the 77th minute. Despite Barcelona's early pressure, including a shot that rattled the post, City maintained composure and capitalized on defensive errors. This win reflects City's growing competitiveness on the European stage, as they face upcoming matches against Liverpool and St Polten. Barcelona will look to regroup as they prepare for their next challenges in the league and Champions League.
