Chelsea fought back to secure a coveted spot in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Meanwhile, Manchester United sealed a 1-0 win against Juventus, ensuring a seeded position for the play-off ties.

Chelsea's journey to the quarter-finals was far from smooth. Wolfsburg took an early lead in the 16th minute, with Alexandra Popp capitalizing on a mistake from Chelsea's Livia Peng. Peng's attempted clearance landed at the feet of Levels, who set up Popp to power the ball into the net. Wolfsburg dominated the first half, putting Chelsea's qualification hopes in jeopardy. However, just before halftime, Lucy Bronze rose to the occasion, connecting with a corner and heading the ball past the Wolfsburg goalkeeper to equalize. The goal shifted the momentum, propelling Chelsea back into the top four. In the second half, Chelsea continued their resurgence. Erin Cuthbert twice tested the goalkeeper, and Alyssa Thompson's shot rattled the woodwork. Their persistence paid off in the 64th minute when Sam Kerr scored her third goal of the campaign, putting Chelsea ahead. Substitute Johanna Rytting Kaneryd found space on the right and crossed the ball to Kerr, who headed it deftly into the far corner. Despite a late push from Wolfsburg, Chelsea's defense held firm, securing the 2-1 victory and a well-deserved place in the quarter-finals. The win meant Chelsea finished third in the league phase. Livia Peng received a low rating for her role in Wolfsburg's goal, while Lucy Bronze was celebrated as Chelsea's best player for her equalizing goal and overall defensive contribution.

Meanwhile, Manchester United faced Juventus in a crucial match. Jess Park's stunning first-half goal proved to be the difference between the two sides. In the 18th minute, Park received a pass on the edge of the box and curled a brilliant shot into the top corner. United had chances to extend their lead, with Melvine Malard's long-range effort forcing a save from Juventus's goalkeeper. Juventus started the game brightly, with Amalie Vangsgaard's effort being saved early on. In the second half, Park continued to be a threat, and United pushed for a penalty in the 86th minute when Elisabeth Terland was brought down, but the referee did not award it. Juventus were also denied a potential penalty after Maya Le Tissier's challenge, as the offside flag was raised. Despite Juventus's late dominance, Manchester United's defense held strong, securing a 1-0 victory. The win secured Manchester United a seeded play-off spot and a sixth-place finish in the league standings.
