Chiamaka Nnadozie made a penalty save as Paris FC recorded their first win in the UEFA Women’s Champions League this season as they overcome Real Madrid 2-1 in Group D on Thursday night.
With Paris FC 2-0 up Madrid were awarded a penalty which Spain’s 2023 women’s World Cup winner, Olga Carmona took.
