American international Catarina Macario scored two penalties as Chelsea came from behind to beat Real Madrid to advance to the quarter-finals as Group B winners in 2024-25 Women’s Champions League.

Real tool the lead through Scotland forward Caroline Weir after her shot took a deflection off Lucy Bronze before Hannah Hampton failed keep the ball out.

Sonia Bompastor, in danger of suffering a first loss since she took charge of the Blues in the summer, brought on Macario for the ineffective Mayra Ramirez in a game-changing substitution at half-time.

The impact was instant. After already having an effort ruled out for offside and another shot go just wide, Macario scored her first penalty in the 51st minute after she had been brought down by Olga Carmona.

Carmona conceded another penalty shortly afterwards as she handled following Wieke Kaptein’s flick.

Macario again fired her penalty high into the right side of the goal as Chelsea went on to win Group B with six wins out of six.
