Chelsea had taken the lead on aggregate even before the break, Sandy Baltimore first on the scoresheet when clinically following up Lucy Bronze’s effort against the post.

Nathalie Bjorn headed in the second from Baltimore’s corner and Lauren James won possession to burst into the box and cut the ball back for Mayra Ramirez to turn home and give the hosts the overall lead.

Manchester City’s Mary Fowler forced Hannah Hampton to get down and make a couple of saves, Khiara Keating making a stop when Ramirez should have scored again.

Keating turned away a drive from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd after the break and Erin Cuthbert struck the crossbar, whilst in-between Vivianne Miedema whistled one wide of the far post at the other end.

Barcelona breezed past Wolfsburg 6-1 on the night and 10-2 on aggregate. Salma Paralluelo and Clàudia Pina each scored twice, Esmee Brugts and Mapi León also on target, while Lineth Beerensteyn replied.
