Barcelona coach Jonatan Giráldez is gearing up to face Chelsea counterpart Emma Hayes in the upcoming Champions League semifinals, with the aim of thwarting Hayes' quest for her first Champions League title. Barcelona secured their spot in the final four for the sixth consecutive season by defeating Brann 3-1, setting up a rematch of last year's semifinal against English champions Chelsea.
Hayes, who will depart Chelsea at the end of the season to lead the United States women's national team, is determined to cap off her tenure at Chelsea with a Champions League triumph, a trophy that has eluded her since taking over in 2012.
