Chelsea and Juventus played each other on Wednesday in a big match in Group A of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. While the game ended in a draw, a moment involving Chelsea celebrity Sam Kerr is garnering headlines, largely because no one seems to be sure why, exactly, it did. happen.
Kerr – who recently finished third in the Féminin Ballon d’Or, awarded annually to the best female soccer player in the world – was standing on the field when a certain guy thought it would be fun. when running around and try to take a selfie with one of her teammates, Magda Eriksson. The fans present clearly thought he was an idiot, but he wasn’t going to leave and it didn’t seem like anyone was doing their best to get him off the field.
So Kerr decided, as he approached, just check him out and level him. No wonder the crowd loves it.
Despite their cheers, Kerr was shown a yellow card.
I’ve never seen that in a women’s game… Court invader, Sam Kerr shoved him and got a yellow card. Bizarre.

It was the first time I saw that at a Women’s game, a yard invader tried to take a selfie but Sam Kerr pushed him down and was later fined. Absolutely bizarre, never seen anything like it. First time for everything #UWCL

Regarding the game, Chelsea took the lead against Juventus with a score of 25-2 but could not break the deadlock. They top the table with 11 points while Wolfsburg and Juventus both have 8 points. With a place in the top 2 in qualifying and Chelsea meeting Wolfsburg on the final day of the group stage – Juve vs Servette FCCF, a Swiss club with a difference of -19 goals and no points – the result The Blues can be clearly seen. Hopefully there are no yard invaders this time.
