BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) -Chelsea handed reigning champions Barcelona their first home defeat in all competitions in five years as they beat them 1-0 in the Women's Champions League semi-final first leg on Saturday, as Emma Hayes' side target their first European title.

Barcelona, who last lost at home to Sporting Huelva in the league in February 2019, dominated early on but it was Chelsea who took the lead in the 40th minute as Sjoeke Nusken laid off the ball for Erin Cuthbert, and the Scottish midfielder fired it into the top corner.
