Well, Hansen & Salma were isolated - when they were on the ball, they were a factor. Problem began further back in their own third, unable to play effectively out of the back before Chelsea sat in a low block
Part of that was Rolfo‘s inability to play out of pressure effectively at LB - her lack of strength or pace forced to routinely play it back and that permitted Chelsea to have plenty of time to organize in transition when Barca could release the ball into midfield
Batlle had zero chemistry with CGH on the right side too so here, a big mistake IMHO by Jona to roll the dice with the XI. I am sure being the obsessive tactician he is, he will look to correct that in the return leg
Vicky, Pina, Bruno & Dragoni are all interesting options to consider here over Alexia I am afraid even though Putellas very nearly (And should’ve) equalized at the final whistle
Shame about Olympic stadium, it is absolutely shit for football although it is only a temporary home. Narrow rows, fixed seats that do not fold up permitting people to pass easily (or even be comfortable) and the viewing lines are poor in the corners of the stadium where the running track keeps fans even further away. The good is that it is a beautiful area of city and the exterior architecture is iconic - plus shuttle buses permit fairly straightforward access. Surprised the club didn’t looks to bolster concessions because that and using the washroom at halftime is very inadequate. It is what it is I guess considering club had to use something in the interim during Camp Nou work but far from a fortress like Lucho said
