Real Madrid into Women’s Champions League last eight

Real Madrid advanced to the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, but Chelsea still have work to do after being held to a goalless draw by Juventus last season’s finalists.

The stalemate in London has left Group A in limbo ahead of the final round next week.

Chelsea leads the table with 11 points, while Juventus is in second place with eight. Wolfsburg is in third place with eight points.

On matchday six, Wolfsburg will play Chelsea, who kept their qualification chances alive with a 3-0 win against Servette.

In Group B, already-qualified Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Ukrainian side Kharkiv 6-0 to extend their unbeaten record to five games and 19 goals.

Real Madrid joined them in the last eight after a 3-0 win over Breidablik in Iceland secured the runners-up position.

Thursday’s action includes a match between holders Barcelona and Arsenal, who have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League. The game will take place at the Emirates Stadium.
