Defending champions Barcelona visit AS Roma on Wednesday in the UEFA Women’s Champions League league phase, looking to build on their 5-2 opening win over Paris FC.

The match at Rome’s Stadio Tre Fontane kicks off at 6.45 pm CEST, with Barcelona aiming for back-to-back wins in the competition’s new league format.

Barcelona, holders of the trophy, remain the team to beat in Europe, with a squad full of Spain’s World Cup winners and one of the most potent attacks on the continent.

Roma, however, are dangerous at home and have reached the knockout rounds in recent seasons. The Italian side will lean on a loud home crowd to unsettle the champions.

The game is one of the standout fixtures of matchday two, which also features Lyon’s meeting with Manchester United. Barcelona have started the season in fine form domestically as well, and manager Pere Romeu will expect his side to control possession against the Italians.
