BARCELONA, Spain — Chelsea has beaten Barcelona 1-0 to hand the defending champion a rare home defeat and Lyon has produced a stunning comeback to down Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 in the first leg of the Women's Champions League semifinals. Striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto put PSG 2-0 up against eight-time champion Lyon on Saturday. But the home side scored three late goals in a six-minute spell through forward Kadidiatou Diani, midfielder Melchie Dumornay and Amel Majri. Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert's 40th-minute goal inflicted Barcelona's first home loss in five years. Barcelona star forward Alexia Putellas missed a glorious chance to equalize on the last play of the game.
