London club Chelsea beat Wolfsburg away after striker Sam Kerr scored a 2-1 goal and the German giants won 3-0 at home against Norwegian side Vålerenga, who thus failed to advance to the play-offs. Centre-back Magdalena Eriksson sat on the bench for the entire match for Bayern Munich.
The teams in positions 5–12 will play a playoff for a quarter-final spot, and that's what awaits Manchester United. The team's Swedish national team star Fridolina Rolfö played Jess Park, who scored the only goal of the match away against Emma Kullberg's Juventus in the 18th minute. Full-back Anna Sandberg played the whole match for United - midfielder Julia Zigiotti Olme was substituted in the second half.
Arsenal and Stina Blackstenius also face a playoff spot. The London club won 3-0 away against Belgian Champions League debutants Leuven, who took the twelfth and final playoff spot.
Blackstenius was allowed to jump in in the 65th minute, but the striker had to leave the field goalless.
The play-off draw will be made on Thursday.
