Footy Fix: UEFA Women’s Champions League returns for Matchday 3 of league phase action

## UEFA Women’s Champions League Matchday 3: What to Watch

The 2026–27 UEFA Women’s Champions League league phase reaches its midpoint on Wednesday, October 28, with Matchday 3 continuing Thursday. The round gives clubs a chance to strengthen their positions or revive their campaigns, with four league-phase matches remaining before February’s knockout playoffs.

Only one team has won both of its opening matches, leaving plenty of room for the standings to change. Several high-profile matchups headline two days of European women’s soccer.

## Barcelona Looks to Continue Its Strong Start

Barcelona enters Matchday 3 in impressive form after opening the league phase with a 5-2 win over Paris FC and a 6-0 victory against Roma. The reigning champions have produced a powerful attack, with players including Vicky Lopez, Claudia Pina, Kerolin and Ewa Pajor helping drive their early success.

The club also arrives after a major night at the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony. Barcelona was named best club, manager Pere Romeu won women’s coach of the year, Lopez earned best young talent, and goalkeeper Cata Coll was recognized as the best goalkeeper. Alexia Putellas, who has since joined London City Lionesses, won the women’s Ballon d’Or for her performances during her final season at Barcelona.

Barcelona faces HB Koge on Thursday as it looks to maintain its momentum in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
