Paris Saint-Germain defeated Real Madrid 2-0 to clinch its place in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Champions League on Thursday, while Sam Kerr’s second-half goal edged Chelsea past Servette.
Shaken by a mystery attack on France international Kheira Hamraoui and a crushing 6-1 loss to domestic title rival Lyon, PSG earned a welcome win thanks to goals from Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sakina Karchaoui.
The French champion, twice runner-up in Europe, claimed top spot in Group B with two games still to play after recording a fourth consecutive win. It has scored 13 goals without reply.

Unbeaten Chelsea leads Juventus by three points at the top of Group A after the Italians beat two-time former winner Wolfsburg 2-0 in Germany. Kathrin-Julia Hendrich’s own goal gave Juventus the lead early in the second half before Andrea Staskova wrapped up the points in stoppage time.
