Before kick-off, the azulgranas presented their awards from the Ballon d'Or Gala. The Catalan side failed to maintain their 100% win record at the Spotify Camp Nou, but they did keep their unbeaten run intact in the Champions League league phase. The first chance of the match fell to Fox, but Paredes cleared the danger, and shortly after, Russo had an opportunity from close range. Graham Hansen and Sydney Schertenleib both responded, but both were denied by Misa, who kept the danger at bay. The opening goal of the match arrived in the 22nd minute. Russo, who had been pushing hard for a goal, played in Foord, but Cata Coll stopped the shot. The rebound fell to Maanum, who made no mistake in breaking the deadlock. Paredes had a chance to equalise with a header, and Sydney Schertenleib also came close to scoring, but Misa remained unbeatable. The final chance of the half fell to Graham, but the post denied her. 

The script remained the same in the second half, with the Catalan side continuing to create danger and pinning Arsenal back. Graham, the most active player for the azulgrana side, kept creating goalscoring chances, but Misa was a rock at the back. Aitana came onto the pitch, and just three minutes later, a cross from Brugts was met by Graham Hansen to beat the Spanish goalkeeper with a low, angled shot. Ona Batlle entered the pitch for Arsenal amidst jeers from what used to be her home fans. The visitors could have restored their lead with a header from Russo following a cross from Smith, and later, Maanum also tried her luck, but a reliable Cata Coll was alert to the danger. FC Barcelona also pressed in front of 26,171 spectators, but the scoreline did not change again on a day when Marta Torrejón celebrated her 500th appearance for the azulgranas.
