Must Watch This Weekend: DAZN to Stream UEFA Women’s Champions League Semi-Finals

Alexia Putellas vs. Catarina Macario

Lindsey Horan vs Korbin Albert and Eva Gaetino.

Yes, these are two epic matchups that you don’t want to miss this Saturday, and what’s better: you can watch them for FREE with DAZN. 

FC Barcelona will take on Chelsea FC in the first leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, while Olympique Lyonnais will go up against the other French powerhouse, Paris Saint-Germain Feminine. With powerhouse stars like Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí, who recently won the 2023 Ballon d’Or, Barcelona could be seen as a favorite. Chelsea has been missing attacking stars Sam Kerr and Mia Fishel, but recently saw the return of Catarina Macario, who is already making an impact, scoring in her first game back from injury. OL has USWNT player Horan in the midfield and Norwegian national team player Ada Hegerberg as a crucial piece of their attack, but they will have to go up against USWNT midfielder Korbin Albert, defender Eva Gaetino, and Netherlands attacker Lieke Martens. 

The teams will meet again the following week to play each other once more to decide who advances to the final, which is set for May 25.
