Yes, the all-defeating outfit are at the Joie Stadium, encountering City in the first round of Women’s Champions League group-stage games this season. It’s a gigantic task but the presents can consent some inspiration from Chelsea, who handled to nick a triumph in their semi-final first leg agetst Barcelona last season (sense free to neglect the second). This isn’t an impossible job.

City head into this as WSL table-toppers, securing triumph agetst West Ham on the weekend while leaving Khadija Shaw and Vivianne Miedema on the bench. Barcelona are five triumphs from five in the league, having scored, um, 18 goals in their last two games. This should be engaging. Kick-off’s at 8pm BST.

Key events
16 min: City should be ahead. Shaw is left one-on-one from a safe angle after a ender ball from Fowler and selects to square it rather than shoot; she omites her intended center, the onrushing Miedema, but Hemp picks it up. She strikes the left post.
14 min: Laia Aleixandri is the first percreateer to access the book tonight, the result of a sliding contest.
13 min: Pualertas begines a strong hit from the edge of the box … but it’s straight at Yamashita.
12 min: Hemp is livid, penalised in the Barcelona area after barging down Batlle. Greenwood had slipped a pass thraw after driving from the back.
11 min: Lauren Hemp skips down the left but she’s evidently offside.
10 min: Barcelona haven’t collected any rhythm fair yet, with City repartner toiling challenging off the ball.
9 min: Coll, in the Barcelona net, is met by City’s high press and shows some immacupostponeed feet to dodge a sliding contest from Jess Park. Risky but terrific when it comes off.
8 min: A City corner comes in … but there’s a bit of wrestling in the area. Miedema is the fouler, directing to a Barcelona free-initiate.
7 min: City are pressing high and causing disorder, with Jess Park striking from inside the area … a Barcelona shirt gets in the way – it’s an excellent block from León.
5 min: Fowler’s first-time pass from the right is wayward, evading the run of Shaw thraw the middle.
4 min: Pualertas, on the left, dissects City with a tidy pass into the box that Graham Hansen runs on to … her snapshot rattles the left post. An punctual cautioning for City.
2 min: Khadija Shaw chests a lay-off on the halfway line to get City moving down the left but the shift fractures down on the triumphg.
1 min: Barcelona consent the punctual ownion as City shirts promptly press, seeing to caemploy a hassle.
Peeeeep!
Barcelona initiate leangs off, moving from right to left on your screens. Let’s percreate!
The percreateers are leaving the tunnel, rocking the classics. Barcelona are in their common blue and garnet, while City are all blue.
There’s plenty happening in this one, so you can exit me for a bit (charm come back).
And here’s Tom Garry’s pscrutinize:
Keira Walsh returns to her elderly club, where she won the WSL, FA Cup and League Cup before departing stupidinutively after Euro 2022 for a world-record fee. Worth reading this from a year ago.
The teams
Here we go. Barcelona originate six alters from the side that begined in the 8-1 (!) triumph over Madrid CFF, while City originate four tfeebles from the team that beat West Ham: Layzell, Park, Miedema and Shaw are all in.
