BARCELONA ((Reuters)) -Holders Barcelona put themselves in the driving seat with a resounding 4-1 over Chelsea in the first leg of their women's Champions League semi-final on Sunday, with substitute Claudia Pina netting twice.

Alexia Putellas missed an early penalty for the hosts before Barca's Polish striker Ewa Pajor broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, ghosting in behind the defence to latch onto a through ball from Putellas and slotting it in at the far post for her 36th goal in 39 games this season.
