Manchester City and Bayern Munich have stayed perfect in the Women’s Champions League halfway through the group stage while two-time defending champion Barcelona and Arsenal recorded big wins. City leads Group D with nine points after the English league leader beat Hammarby 2-0 at home. Barcelona is second, trailing by three points. Barcelona earlier thrashed St. Pölten 7-0. Claudia Pina led the demolition with two goals. Arsenal is recovering from a poor start to the season and scored four goals in the second straight game in the competition as it won 4-0 at Juventus. The Gunners are second in Group C with six points, three behind leader Bayern, which eased past pointless newcomer Vålerenga 3-0.
