Nnadozie’s Clean Sheet Helps Paris Knock Real Madrid Out Of Women’s UCL

December 21, (THEWILL) – Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie starred as Paris FC knocked Real Madrid Women out of the UEFA Women’s Champions League after a 1-0 home win.

A second half penalty by French international Gaetane Thiney proved the difference on Thursday night in what was Los Blancos’ third loss in four group matches.

Despite two games still left to play in Group A, Real Madrid cannot now progress to the quarter-finals after slumping to the bottom of the table. In contrast, visitors Paris FC still harbor hopes of progression while Chelsea strengthened their grip on top spot with an impressive 3-1 away victory over Hacken in Sweden.

Emma Hayes’ Blues, with eight points from four matches, remain on course to reach the knockout stages – a stated priority for Hayes before she leaves the club at the end of this campaign. Elsewhere in Group C, Ajax claimed a vital 1-0 home win over Bayern Munich to go top on seven points.

Real Madrid will now turn attention to domestic competitions as they attempt to recover from a chastening European experience this term.

  Bayern Munich returned to winning ways as they comfortably dispatched Wolfsburg 2-0 at the Allianz Arena on Sunday afternoon. The victory moved the Bavarian giants back into second place in the Bundesliga standings. Teenager Lovro Zvonarek opened the scoring after just four minutes, lashing home from Alphonso Davies' cutback. Bayern doubled their lead soon after through Leon Goretzka's cool finish following good work from the impressive Bryan Zaragoza and Zvonarek. Despite Wolfsburg's recent uplift in form, the visitors offered little resistance as Bayern's fringe players dominated proceedings. Zaragoza and Zvonarek were particular standouts, with the latter unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet again. After the interval, the one-way traffic continued as Bayern pushed for a third goal that ultimately eluded them. Zaragoza went close on two occasions while Mathys Tel also spurned a decent chance. As the game petered out, both sides seemed content to play out the closing stages at a pedestrian pace. However, the performances of Bayern's young stars will encourage the Bundesliga juggernauts ahead of the final game of the season. For Wolfsburg, the defeat ends a three-match winning run but their Bundesliga status for next season had already been secured prior to kick-off. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl may yet rue his side's toothless display against Bayern's second-string line-up.
