After their success in the first leg in Sweden (1-2), the Parisiennes mastered the return match (3-0) and will face OL in the semi-final.
PSG qualified for the semi-finals of the Women’s Champions League by easily beating the Swedes of BK Häcken (3-0) on Thursday, and will meet OL in the last European four. Like their male counterparts, the Parisiennes are still in the race this season to win the Champions League, championship (2nd) and Coupe de France (final against FC Fleury) treble.
With this victory, the Parisiennes remain in 22 matches without defeat in all competitions. Their last defeat dates back to November 23 against Bayern Munich in C1. “We must above all not leave the route we have traced because, once again, in concrete terms we have done nothing. And we are reaching the important deadlines of the season,” explained Parisian coach Jocelyn Prêcheur at a press conference on Wednesday before the match.
Thursday evening at the Parc de Princes in front of 11,600 spectators including several ultras, its players succeeded in one of these important meetings by dismissing BK Häcken quite easily, without forcing too much.
Chawinga intenable
Last week in Sweden, they won with a score of 2-1 thanks to goals from American defender Eva Gaetino, who again had a good performance on Thursday, and striker Tabitha Chawinga.
It was again the Malawian who opened the scoring on Thursday after a great job of conserving the ball and projecting the Frenchwoman Marie-Antoinette Katoto (1-0, 27th).
Top scorer and passer in the championship, Chawinga, PSG’s key player of the moment, scored her 4th goal in the Champions League and once again made an impression with her speed and projections, whether on the left or right side. Very close to scoring with a header after the break (50th), Katoto, very well served by Sakina Karchaoui, perfectly placed a diving uncrossed header to deceive the Swedish goalkeeper (3-0, 74th), under the eyes of the Blue coach Hervé Renard.
Just before, American midfielder Korbin Albert had doubled the lead with a superb strike into the left corner from 20 meters (2-0, 70th), her 2nd goal in C1 this season. As in 2022, the Parisiennes, finalists of the 2015 and 2017 editions, will meet the Lyonnaises, eight times titled in this C1, in the semi-final.
Before this double confrontation, the two clubs have already faced each other three times this season (2 OL wins, one draw) and could also meet in the D1 play-offs. This season, the final takes place on May 25 in Bilbao.
