Caroline Weir scored a dramatic late goal for Real Madrid to salvage a 1-1 draw with Paris FC in the Women’s Champions League on Tuesday, when Lyon defeated fellow heavyweight Wolfsburg 3-1.
Weir scored in the eighth minute of stoppage time — there were only supposed to be six — to deny Paris another win in Madrid with the visitors desperately trying to hold on after Lorena Azzaro had scored a penalty before the break.
The French team had won 1-0 with a penalty in 2023, when it completed home and away wins over the Spanish club.
Norway star Ada Hegerberg scored twice in Lyon’s win, while Catarina Macario and Sam Kerr both scored twice in Chelsea’s 6-0 rout of tournament debutant St. Pölten. Wieke Kaptein and an own goal from Lisa Ebert completed the scoring in Austria.
Earlier, Norwegian club Vålerenga defeated Roma 1-0 for its first win in the competition.
