AKB hero of the evening

The World Cup winners made their presence felt in two impressive cameos off the bench during the Citizens' 3-0 win over Fiorentina earlier today. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/uswnt-mewis-lavelle-champions-league-highlight-man-city/usgbi6d15f341piydvuqedamx" target="_blank">Read more about it here.</a>

Manchester City shine with their USWNT midfield duo 

One red card, three penalties and two penalty saves....what a night.&nbsp; Chelsea manage a dominant 2-0 win over Atleti despite being a woman down since the 12th minute of the match.&nbsp; Anne Katrin-Berger came up with a very important save after Sophie Ingle got sent off, and the German keeper&nbsp;set the tempo for the Blues. Maren Mjelde sloted&nbsp;home a penalty in the 68th minute to put Chelsea up&nbsp;and Fran Kirby doubled&nbsp;the advantage six minutes later.&nbsp; The Blues keeper gave&nbsp;away a penalty in the 79th minute but came up with a SECOND penalty save.&nbsp; It's been an eventful night.&nbsp;😅 Failing to score a crucial away goal, Atleti have a big hole to get themselves out of in the return fixture next week.

FT: Chelsea 2-0 Atletico Madrid 🤯

A SECOND penalty save for Anne Katrin-Berger this evening.&nbsp; Merel van Dongen stepped up to take the penalty ahead of Deyna castellanos who missed one in the first half, but AKB went the right way and saves her second of the night.&nbsp;

ANOTHER AKB SAVE

Anne Katrin-Berger comes out for a messy challenge on the Atletico player and gives away a penalty. The German keeper is shaken up with a hit, can she come up with a save against Merel van Dongen?

PENALTY !

Guro Reiten comes on for&nbsp;goal scorer, Fran Kirby. 12 minutes left to go.&nbsp;

Kirby OFF

Turid Knaak ON 🔁.&nbsp;Rasheedat Ajibade Emelyne Laurent ON 🔁&nbsp; Toni Duggan

Double substitution for Atleti 

Erin Cuthbert on for Ji So-Yun in the midfield. Fresh legs to keep up Chelsea's attack and defence.&nbsp;🏃🏽‍♀️

Attacking change for the Blues

🔵&nbsp; Chelsea 2-0 Atletico Madrid&nbsp;🔴 After hitting the post just seconds before, Fran Kirby's shot bounces off Lindahl's fingertips, off the post and into the goal to double Chelsea's lead.&nbsp; The Blues showing how strong this team is even when they're a player down.&nbsp;

SUPER FRAN KIRBY

Maren Mjelde slots home from the penalty spot in the 58th minute to make it 1-0 to Chelsea. Lindahl nearly got her fingertips on the ball, but Mjelde managed to perfectly place it in the side netting.&nbsp; Still a&nbsp;long way to go...

GOOOOAL 🔵

Sam Kerr was on a breakaway and&nbsp;Aissatou Tounkara brings the Australian striker down.&nbsp;

PENALTY for Chelsea

Lindahl gets lucky after Sam Kerr fires into the side netting. The Atleti keeper&nbsp;gave&nbsp;a poor pass to her left-back and Fran Kirby intercepted it. With one pass, Kerr was on goal, but failed to capitalise.&nbsp;

Kerr MISS 😱

Second half KO in London

The Blues finished the first half with five total attempts on goal and Atleti have just three attempts and one on goal.&nbsp; Chelsea's confidence is still shining through.&nbsp;

Chelsea's dominance 

An interesting half-time talk in both lockerooms right now.&nbsp; Chelsea are still looking like the stronger team even with just 10 players on the pitch. Atletico are looking toothless in this encounter in need of a change in their gameplan to make use of their speedy and strong attacking line.&nbsp;

HT: Chelsea 0-0 Atletico Madrid

Chelsea have switched their focus to regaining possession and immediately counter attacking through their attacking brilliance. Ji So-Yun just regained possession deep in her own half and in four touches, Pernille Harder got a shot on goal.&nbsp;

Atletico is unable to break through

Though with a player advantage, Atleti still aren't as dominate as you would expect. Chelsea are still very comfortable in attack once they regain possession with Sam Kerr, Pernille Harder and Fran Kirby.&nbsp; Emma Hayes' side is taking their time playing out the back, perfectly okay with killing time until HT in 15 minutes to get a new gameplan.&nbsp; Atleti are slowly getting impatient.

Chelsea patiently sitting back

Striker, Bethany England, makes way for Niamh Charles who comes on to play right-back and Maren Mjelde slides into the centre next to Millie Bright.

Niamh Charles ON

Deyna Castellanos stepped up to take Atleti's penalty but Anne Katrin-Berger came up with a HUGE save to deny the Venezuelan of Atleti's opening goal.&nbsp; So much has happened...it's only been 15 minutes...

Penalty MISSED 🤯

And a penalty awarded for Atleti after Sophie Ingle took down&nbsp;Rasheedat Ajibade in the box.

RED CARD for Sophie Ingle 🟥  

Alexandra Popp ends the evening with a brace, unlucky not to get a hat-trick with quite a few goal scoring opportunities throughout the match. Not much to complain about for LSK today after the German side&nbsp;dominated the game with 25 total attempts on goal where LSK had just 7.&nbsp; Wolfsburg played&nbsp;with confidence today with Champions League redemtion on their minds.&nbsp;

FT: Wolfsburg 2-0 LSK Kvinner

We have the final match of the night in London! Chelsea off to an attacking start with Pernille Harder almost scoring in the opening seconds with her first touch of the match.&nbsp; Get the popcorn out, this should be entertaining&nbsp;🍿

KO: Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid

The Swedes equalised four minutes into injury time!! Caroline Seger saves the night for Rosengard with less than a minute left on the clock. The fixture goes equalised into the second leg in Austria, but St. Polten leave with two big away goals in their first rounf of 16 appearance.

FT: Rosengard 2-2 St Polten 🤯

Fiorentina has a tough three goal gap to close in Italy next week, but showed promising moments today against a strong Manchester side. ⚽️&nbsp;&nbsp;Lauren Hemp 2' ⚽️ Ellen White 4' ⚽️ Sam Mewis 89'

FT: Manchester 3-0 Fiorentina

🔵&nbsp;Manchester City 3-0 Fiorentina&nbsp;🟣 Sam Mewis triples the lead at the brink of FT. Chloe Kelly floats a ball to the midfielder at the back post for an easy header.&nbsp;

Sam Mewis scores a header...what's new

Wolfsburg 2-0 LSK Kvinner&nbsp; It was only time until Wolfsburg was going to double their lead, the German side have been getting to LSK's goal but have been missing clear chances.&nbsp; Popp is on a hat-trick with 30 minutes left to go after an easy tap in to get her second of the evening.&nbsp; Will we see a second&nbsp;🎩🎩🎩&nbsp; today?

TOOOOR Alex Popp

Rosengard get one back through&nbsp;Sanne Troelsgaard in the 68th minute.&nbsp; The Swedish side have 20 minutes to take this fixture levelled into the second leg. Time is ticking&nbsp;🕑🕒🕓🕔

GOAL: Rosengard 1-2 St Polten

With 15 minutes left in the match, Fiorentina are inching closer to get a redemption goal, but Manchester City are are managing their time well.&nbsp; Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis are both in the midfield for City to close the match.&nbsp;

Still 2-0 in Manchester

The Spanish go with a 4-4-2 in London with Deyna Castellanos and Ludmila da Silva leading the front line. Hedvig Lindahl starts in her return to Kingsmeadow to face her former club. <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 🏧👥 ALINEACIÓN 💪 ¡Estas son las 1⃣1⃣ rojiblancas que defenderán hoy nuestra camiseta! 👇 ‼❕‼ 𝙰𝚃-𝙻𝙴-𝚃𝙸 ‼❕‼ 🔴⚪<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/A%C3%BApaAtleti?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AúpaAtleti</a> ⭐ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UWCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UWCL</a> |⚽<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ChelseaAtleti?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ChelseaAtleti</a> <a href="https://t.co/jGSi3onjCf">pic.twitter.com/jGSi3onjCf</a> — At.

Atletico Madrid starting XI

Pernille Harder, Fran Kirby, Bethany England and Sam Kerr all start for Chelsea.

Chelsea line-up to face Atleti 🔵🔵

Mateja Zver doubles St. Polten's lead just one minute into the second half. The Austrians are making their mark in the UWCL.&nbsp;

Zver makes it two in Sweden ⚽️⚽️

The Austrian side is making the best of their first round of 16 appearance! Rosengard had six&nbsp;attempts on goal this first half to St Polten's two. It seems like this scoreline won't stay the same in the second half.&nbsp;👀

HT ⏸️ : Rosengard 0-1 St Polten 

Our women's football writer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/correspondents/ame%C3%A9-ruszkai/4887" target="_blank">Ameé Ruszkai</a> reporting live from Manchester:&nbsp; A comfortable 2-0 lead at half time for Manchester City here at the CFA, with both goals coming inside the first four minutes. Lauren Hemp headed home a Chloe Kelly cross after 90 seconds before Ellen White continued the lightning start by converting a low cross from Hemp. Fiorentina have grown into the game, with their defence looking a lot more secure since that second goal and their attack having a few flurries forward. However, despite taking their foot off the pedal a little, City have been in total control and, were it not for great goalkeeping from Katja Schroffenegger, could be leading by much more.

HT summary of Manchester City vs Fiorentina

The Spanish side keep a clean sheet in the first leg against Fortuna Hjorring.&nbsp; Barcelona will travel to Denmark next week with a four goal advantage.&nbsp; ⚽️⚽️⚽️&nbsp; Jenni Hermoso&nbsp;🅰️🅰️🅰️ Caroline Graham Hansen ⚽️ Alexia Putellas&nbsp;

FT: Barcelona 4-0 Fortuna Hjorring

Barcelona captain, Alexia Putellas, pokes a fourth one through in the 83rd minute.&nbsp;🔴🔵 Fortuna's defence slept during&nbsp;a set piece and Putellas was free for an easy tap in.&nbsp;

Alexia Putellas makes it 4-0

Mateja Zver gives her side a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute over the Swedish.&nbsp;

St. Polten take the lead!

It's a day of early goals...🤯 Alexandra Popp makes it 1-0 for Wolfsburg just 2 minutes into the match.&nbsp;

GOAL 🟢

Wolfsburg are still looking to bounce back this campaign after a disaapointing loss in the final last year.&nbsp; They take on Norwegian side, LSK Kvinner, who last year couldn't get past the qualifying round. Now, they're in the round of 16 and face one of the best.&nbsp;

KO: Wolfsburg vs LSK Kvinner

We have KO in foggy Malmo, Sweden for today's third match! This is St. Polten's first round of 16 appearance and this fixture is one of the most competitive match ups with both sides not having played a league match since before the new year.&nbsp; Rosengard are here to stay in the UWCL starting with a 3-5-2 formation, let's see how they get on.

KO: Rosengard vs St. Polten

Jenni Hermoso completes&nbsp;her hat-trick and Graham Hansen has a hat-trick of assists. Barcelona lead 3-0 in the 60th minute.&nbsp; <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> HAT-TRICK DE <a href="https://twitter.com/Jennihermoso?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Jennihermoso</a>!

CGH -> Jenni Hermoso 🎩

City make it 2-0 in FOUR minutes through Ellen White.&nbsp; This time Lauren Hemp becomes the provider for White who's clinical finish was well out of Fiorentina's keeper's reach.&nbsp; Five minutes in, two goals....City are here to dominate.

ANOTHER ONE

What a start for City!! Lauren Hemp heads home with barely 90 seconds on the clock.&nbsp; Chloe Kelly took on Fiorentina's defence down the right wing and crossed in a floating pass in for Hemp in the box.&nbsp;

GOAAL 🔵

Let's see if Hermoso can get her hat-trick this second half&nbsp;⚽️⚽️⚽️

Second half KO in Barcelona

The second match of the afternoon is underway at the Academy Stadium! City have eight straight victories in the FA WSL, can they continue their winning streak in the UWCL?&nbsp; Let's see!

KO: Manchester City vs Fiorentina

Jenni Hermoso was set to complete her hat-trick seconds from the HT whistle, but her shot hit the post and bounced back out...ouch.&nbsp; After two goals in 5 minutes for&nbsp;Hermoso, Barcelona haven't been able to break down Fortuna's deep block again.&nbsp; The Danish keeper has definitely been player of the match&nbsp;for her side so far. They haven't been able to break through for a third just yet, but Barcelona are dominating the ball keeping play in Fortuna's half for most of the match.&nbsp;

HT ⏸️ :  Barcelona 2-0 Fortuna Hjorring 

After two identical goals, Fortuna have doubled up on CGH on the wing and the Danish side have been more effective in stopping Barcelona's attack. Barca have had 14 total attempts on goal compared to Fortuna's 1.&nbsp; Just 5 minutes from HT.&nbsp;

Fortuna's defence is gaining rhythm 

KO in just 30 minutes. This is the Italian side ready to face Manchester City at the Academy Stadium.&nbsp; <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 📋 | LINE UP Il nostro 11 iniziale per <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ManCityFiorentina?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ManCityFiorentina</a>!⁰ 🖥️ LIVE STREAMING su Facebook e su <a href="https://t.co/JSE5vO5QfS">https://t.co/JSE5vO5QfS</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ForzaViola?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ForzaViola</a> 💜 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UWCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UWCL</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Fiorentina?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Fiorentina</a> <a href="https://t.co/ri9FCK12RO">pic.twitter.com/ri9FCK12RO</a> — ACF Fiorentina Femminile (@ACF_Womens) <a href="https://twitter.com/ACF_Womens/status/1367136850964545538?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>

Line Geltzer Johansen is keeping her side in the game and coming up with brilliant saves stopping&nbsp;Barca's long-range efforts. The&nbsp;blaugrana side are knocking on Fortuna's door for a third goal, with the biggest threat being CGH down the right wing.&nbsp;

Manchester City's XI to face Fiorentina

Barcelona's movement on and off the ball are going to be crucial to break down Fortuna's defence.&nbsp; So far, it's looking good for the home side, though Fortuna have already managed to get into Barca's half.&nbsp;

Barca dominating the opening minutes

Here we go, the round of 16 has officialy kicked off.&nbsp; Let's see how the first match of the afternoon goes&nbsp;👀

KO in Barcelona!

Manchester City will face Fiorentina later today.&nbsp; They have not gotten past the round of 16 since 2018, but with heavy recruitment this year could they go all the way? <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-citys-strongest-ever-squad-can-exorcise-champions-league/1lf0i3zds3etq12kw6dp6sxioj">Read more here by Ameé Ruszkai.</a>

Some reading to kill time until KO!

The Danish side will start with a deep block of 5 defenders and 4 midfielders right in front in&nbsp;attempt to stop Barcelona's attacking threat.&nbsp; Will it work? KO in just 20 minutes.&nbsp;

Fortuna Hjorring's plan to stop Barcelona

A tough 11 for Fortuna to break down with a midfield trio featuring Alexia Putellas, Patri Guijarro and Aitana Bonmati.&nbsp; Leading the front three is Caroline Graham Hansen, Jenni Hermoso and Mariona.&nbsp;🔥 <center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">👥 11 <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBfemeni?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FCBfemeni</a> OFICIAL <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bar%C3%A7aFortunaHjorring?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BarçaFortunaHjorring</a> 👌 <a href="https://twitter.com/stanleytools?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@stanleytools</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/For%C3%A7aBar%C3%A7a?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ForçaBarça</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UWCL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UWCL</a> <a href="https://t.co/aXzO3M6peg">pic.twitter.com/aXzO3M6peg</a>— FC Barcelona Femení (@FCBfemeni) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBfemeni/status/1367124508667228160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </center>
