Barcelona hits 8 in Women's Champions League rout. PSG ties Man City late in game

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Barcelona scored eight goals in another Women’s Champions League mismatch Thursday, Juventus got four in its win but there was just one each for Manchester City against Paris Saint-Germain.

It was 8-0 for Barcelona in Denmark against HB Køge in the week the dominant defending champion won the best women’s club award at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in London.

Seven different Barcelona players — though not three-time Ballon d'Or winner AItana Bonmati — scored in its biggest win yet after a 5-2 opener at home to Paris FC and a 6-0 rout at Roma.

Barcelona tops the 18-team standings as the only team with three straight wins and Juventus rose to fifth with a 4-1 win at Austria Vienna.

Man City, the champion of England, led PSG in the 85th minute when star striker Bunny Shaw scored with a penalty but the lead lasted just three minutes. PSG substitute Tara Elimbi Gilbert dribbled deep into the Man City penalty area to place her shot through the legs of goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita.

Häcken was heading for last place until finding a goal in the last minute of stoppage time to draw 1-1 at Paris FC.
