Chelsea stopped Barcelona winning a home match for the first time in four years but fell short of a place in the Women’s Champions League final.
Guro Reiten’s second-half goal at the Nou Camp secured a 1-1 draw for Emma Hayes’ side and they pushed for a winner on the night but it was the Catalans who claimed a 2-1 victory on aggregate.
Barcelona have won 60 straight domestic matches at home dating back to February 2019, while the last time they did not win a Champions League match on home soil was against Lyon back in 2018.
Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea (1-0 agg)
48 mins: Shot! Fridolina Rolfo is having a good evening. She drifts inside and collects the ball in space allowing her to spin towards goal.
A dart forward gets her within shooting range and she drills an effort wide of the far post.
Second half: Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea (1-0 agg)
Barcelona restart the game knowing that a cleansheet will get them into the Women’s Champions League final. Alexia Putellas is waiting in the wings to make her comeback too so the home side have plenty of threats to use against Chelsea.

What can Chelsea muster in the next 45 minutes? The longer the game goes without a goal the more likely it will be that Barcelona go through should they break the deadlock.
Still, there’s only one goal in the tie and Chelsea have enough quality to score first.

Chelsea didn’t create a single chance in the first half at the Nou Camp but they’re still in the game and the stage is set for some attacking changes to come.
It won’t be long before Lauren James is introduced in place of Niamh Charles I shouldn’t think.
Half-time: Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea (1-0 agg)
45+3 mins: Nearly! Chelsea whip the ball into the box and almost pick out Guro Reiten only for Aitana Bonmati to flick the ball away.
It comes to Jessie Fleming who shoots from range and smokes her effort over the crossbar!
A late Barcelona free kick sees the ball curled into Chelsea’s box but it safely skips through without troubling the goalkeeper. All square at half-time.

45 mins: Three minutes of added time to play in the first half. Will there be an opening goal before the break?
Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea (1-0 agg)
42 mins: Emma Hayes doesn’t look too worried nor too impressed on the sidelines. She’ll be thinking about how to get more momentum into Chelsea’s attacking play.
Defensively the Blues have been good but they need to offer more in the opposition’s final third.
Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea (1-0 agg)
39 mins: Chelsea’s best moment in quite some time comes from a counter-attack that sees Guro Reiten take the ball into the left side of the box.
Her cutback is targeted towards Fleming and Kerr but Paredes gets to the ball first and scoops it clear. Good from Chelsea, can they maintain a bit of pressure on the home side now?
Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea (1-0 agg)
36 mins: Paredes’ cross into the middle finds Caldentey who launches an effort back across goal only to have Jess Carter clear the danger for Chelsea.
It’s all Barcelona at the minute. Sam Kerr has hardly had a touch for the Blues.
