Ua hoʻi mai ʻo Barcelona mai Lākana me ka wāwae a me ka hapa i ka hopena o ka Champions League ma hope o ka lanakila ʻana iā Chelsea, ka mea a lākou i lanakila ai ma ka hope i ʻelua mau makahiki i hala. ʻO kahi hopena pule moeʻuhane e hiki ke pani i kēia Lāpule me kahi inoa League hou, kahi mea e hiki mai inā ʻaʻole lanakila ʻo Real Madrid iā Villarreal. Me nā pāʻani a pau i lanakila, 105 mau pahu hopu a me 5 wale nō e kūʻē i nā paio he 25, ʻaʻole hiki i ka hui keʻokeʻo ke nalowale i kekahi helu ma nā pāʻani liiki ʻelima i koe. Hōʻike nā hopena i ka liʻiliʻi o nā hoʻokūkū aupuni no nā blaugranas, e ʻimi nei i ko lākou keʻena maoli i ka Champions League.
ʻO nā pāʻani wahine Barcelona e hoʻomanaʻo mai iaʻu i kaʻu kaikamahine ʻehā makahiki i kona hele ʻana mai me ka ʻakaʻaka kolohe a ʻōlelo mai: "He nūhou maikaʻi kaʻu a me ka ʻōlelo maikaʻi ʻole ...". He mea maikaʻi nō hoʻi no ka hui ʻo Jonathan Giraldez Barça, ʻike ʻoe e lanakila ana ʻo ia, a ʻo kahi mea maikaʻi ʻole, e nalowale ana ʻoe i ka manaʻo i loaʻa i kēlā me kēia pāʻani. E kūʻē iā Chelsea, ʻike ʻia ka kānalua no ʻehā mau minuke, ʻo ka manawa i lawe ʻia ʻo Graham Hansen e kiʻi i ka pahuhopu mua, he pahuhopu nui maoli, ma ke ala. Hoʻopili ka Norewai i ka pōleʻa i ka waena waena o ka hui Pelekane, kokoke i ka hui, holomua, nānā a lōʻihi ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i kahi i hoʻokuʻu ai ʻo ia i ke keʻa me kona wāwae hema i lanakila ai iā Berger.
ʻO ka poʻe Pelekania i puka mai me ka wikiwiki, e ho'āʻo ana e hoʻoweliweli i nā Catalans, akāʻo Hansen, me kāna pahuhopu, ua like ia me ka picador e hoʻomāmā iki i ka bipi. ʻAʻole i hiki mai ka manawa mua o Chelsea a i iwakālua mau minuke. Ua ʻalo iki ka pana a Kerr iā Paredes a ua hoʻopakele ʻia e Paños me ka pilikia. ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻo Pelekane no kahi Barcelona i ʻoluʻolu me ka helu i makemake ʻia, kahi mea a lākou i maʻa ai. Ma mua koke iho, ua hooki ʻia ka pāʻani ma muli o kekahi pilikia mai Berger. Kau ka lima o ka mea kiaʻi ma kona ʻūhā a mālama ʻia akā hiki iā ia ke hoʻomau.
ʻO Sam Kerr, ka moeʻuhane o nā culés
Ke hoʻokokoke loa nei ʻo Chelsea, no laila i ka minuke 24th ua hoʻohana ʻo Stamford Bridge i kahi pahuhopu i hoʻokaʻulua ʻole ka referee e kāpae ma muli o kahi offside e Sam Kerr. E makaʻu i kēlā ʻano hoʻolaha i ʻole hilinaʻi ʻo Barcelona a ala aʻe. Ua lilo ʻo Kerr i ka moeʻuhane o nā culés. Ma hope o ka hapalua hola ʻo Bronze ka mea nāna i hoʻopau i kahi pana mai ka Australian me Paños i hahau ʻia a me kahi pahu pahu. ʻO nā minuke hope loa o ka hapa mua he paio o nā ʻano. ʻOiai ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Barcelona i ka hōʻea ʻana i ka ʻāina Pelekania me ka hoʻopā ʻana a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, hoʻouna mau ʻo Chelsea i nā pōpō lōʻihi i ka wā i hoʻi hou ai lākou i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka counterattack. Ua hoʻopau ka hana mua me ka pāʻani a Hansen ʻaʻole i pau i ka pahu hopu, ʻoiai inā ua kiʻi ʻo ia, ʻaʻole ia e piʻi i ka papa helu ma muli o ka offside o Geyse.
ʻO ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Emma Hayes e komo iā Lauren James no Cankovic a hoʻohana i ka wikiwiki o ka wahine Pelekane e koi iā Mapi León, ka mea ma ka ʻāpana mua i ʻike i kahi kāleka melemele i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia no kekahi mau lima kānalua. Ua paʻa ke akamai akā ua hele mai nā pilikia mai kekahi ʻaoʻao a ma ke ʻano o ka ʻeha. Ua koi ʻia ʻo Lucy Bronze e noi no ka hoʻololi (min. 67) a ʻike ʻia ʻo ia i ka limped. E komo iā Marta Torrejon. ʻElima mau minuke ma mua ua hoʻololi ʻo Mariona Caldentey iā Geyse.
ʻO ke koʻikoʻi kiʻekiʻe ma Chelsea, kahi e loaʻa koke ai ka ʻae i ka pōleʻa. Ua maikaʻi ʻo Barcelona akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole. ʻO ka 0-1 kahi hopena maikaʻi loa e kū i ka ʻike o nā ʻōpio e hiki mai ana akā ua makemake ka poʻe o Giráldez. ʻO kekahi pahuhopu e hoʻolilo i ka hoʻolaha Pelekania i mea hiki ʻole ke hana. He aha ka mea nui, ʻo ke kiʻi ʻana i kahi pahuhopu ʻē aʻe a ʻae ʻole paha? Ua maikaʻi kēlā me kēia koho, maikaʻi loa lāua. ʻO kahi poʻo i ka pou na Marta Torrejón, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi wale nō i loko o ka wahi, ma hope o ke kī kihi (min. 82), ʻo ia ka manawa maikaʻi loa o ka hapa lua holoʻokoʻa.
ʻEono hoʻololi i ka hele hoʻokahi, ʻekolu mai Chelsea a ʻekolu mai Barcelona e kū i nā minuke ʻeono hope o ka pāʻani. Akā i ka hopena, ʻaʻole i neʻe ka helu a waiho ʻia ka lanakila o ka hui Barça i nā mea āpau no lākou e hiki ai i ka hopena o ka Champions League i ka Pōʻalima aʻe, kahi e kali ai ʻo Wolfsburg a i ʻole Arsenal, nāna e hakakā no ka semifinal ʻē aʻe.
