City had designs on becoming the first Scottish side to make it into the restructured group stages of the competition
Barring the kind of miracle that would have the Vatican come calling, it is highly unlikely that Glasgow City will overhaul a 4-0 first-leg defeat to Brann in the second round of the UEFA Champions League.
Brann, the current Norwegian champions, have had a fairly indifferent season so far and lie fourth in a domestic league that was 22 games deep by the time they headed to Glasgow.of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, found themselves trailing by two goals after just 13 minutes. There could have been more in a whirlwind opening period where Brann ran roughshod over the Petershill side.
“It is a step up. I think the teams in the league, us included, needed to keep trying to raise the standard and the profile so that we can improve, evolve and be more capable of competing at this kind of level.”, it is difficult to envisage how to mould teams capable of making inroads into modern Champions League territory.
What the competition does do for those who make it into the group stages is offer a vehicle to generate more money - with some of that trickling into the league as a whole - but for the game to thrive there needs to be access to the kind of funds that are significantly more transformative. Australia’s semi-final defeat to England was the most watched programme on Aussie television but Ange Postecoglou was scathing when questioned on any legacy the tournament will leave.
