ROME — Salma Paralluelo curled a shot into the net to help Barcelona beat Roma 1-0 in the first leg of the Women's Champions League quarterfinals in front of a record-setting crowd. The 19-year-old Paralluelo's strike from just outside the area in the 34th minute puts Barcelona a step away from the final four as the teams head into the second leg at Camp Nou next week. Attendance at Stadio Olimpico was 39,454 — a record for women's soccer in Italy. Earlier, Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 1-0 in their first leg for a 13th straight win in all competitions. Lea Schuller's header in the 39th minute at Allianz Arena separates the teams ahead of the second leg in London next week.
