I just feel with Arsenal that the Emirates is a great strength for them. They play a lot better there. They have had difficult results there too, but when the crowd is there, they're on their side and the noise is behind them they have this belief that they can beat anybody. I had a belief that Arsenal could come back and beat Real Madrid, I felt like the first half was a bit flat but coming out in the second half knowing you had to go at them, and getting those goals in such quick succession gave them a belief that they were going to get back in the game. The Emirates was a game changer for them.

Ultimately they fell short when it came to the second leg but I think with Man City it's really hard. They have a really strong XI at the moment but when it comes to the later stages of the game they just don't have enough of a squad. I think Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp have been such big misses for them this year.Lauren Hemp can just create something out of nothing, Bunny Shaw is such a presence as well. Injuries haven't been kind to them.

Chelsea were far better prepared and I suppose they have more expirence of handling games like these. It was a difficult position for City to come into, 2-0 is uncomfortable and then to concede within 20 minutes and then you know you're really under pressure and it's hard to switch momentum in that moment. Knowing what it's like against a Chelsea coming at you, over and over and over you feel like you're in a washing machine. It's not easy to calm down, it's not easy to have the ball at your feet and make a pass under pressure.

Losing Emma Hayes, no one knew what to expect from Chelsea and how they were going to react to losing such a big figure at the club. I think Sonia Bompastor coming in, the question was how is she going to adapt to the Women's Super League and how are the players going to react to her, and she's lifted Chelsea to a new level with ease.

I think from minute one you could see they [Chelsea] were on the front foot. They were going in pairs, no one was pressing in isolation and they all knew what the game plan was. They really unsettled City by not allowing them to get into a rhythm and it could have been more. It could have been five or six but I think for them it was key that they went in at half time 3-0 up, getting that all important third goal.

Today's BBC Football Daily podcast is dedicated to the remarkable comebacks we have seen from Arsenal and Chelsea over the last 48 hours.

Eleanor Oldroyd brought the reaction from Stamford Bridge alongside Gilly Flaherty, Rachel Corsie and Jonathan Pearce, and the panel discussed both Chelsea and Arsenal's chances of reaching the final, with European giants Barcelona and Lyon standing in their way.

Here's what they had to say...

Those that were on the page yesterday may remember a particular statistic we posted with regard to Arsenal's comeback.

After the Gunners' 3-0 victory over Real Madrid, they became the first English side to overturn a two-goal first leg deficit in a Women's Champions League knockout tie since 2010-11.

Well, not to be outdone, it took just 24 hours for Chelsea to do it again!

Arsenal's 3-0 victory on Wednesday was also just the second time a club had overturned a two-goal first-leg deficit in the quarter-finals of the competition in history.

Until last night, when the Blues decided to become the third and pencil their name in the history books right next to the Gunners. Literally, right next to them. The ink wasn't even dry!

They [Chelsea] were absolutely relentless. They had so much belief, energy and intensity and Man City just couldn’t live with them.

Obviously to score three goals in that first half just blew Man City away. An incredible performance by Chelsea.

This season they’ve lost one game which is just ridiculous. They’ve showed what winning means.

Karen Carney
Former Chelsea midfielder on TNT Sports

First 45 minutes Chelsea absolutely blew Manchester City away and there was no response there. The quadruple mentality is back on. They are not stopping, they are a train and when they are on it you can’t stop them.

That team will be thinking 'we want that quadruple and we are not going to stop'.

Ellen White
Former Manchester City striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

Man City only had four outfield players on the bench and obviously one goalkeeper.

I do feel for City because they’ve got a really thin squad, lots of injuries. But now they have to focus to on getting a Champions League spot because they’re quite a few points behind now.

On the semi-finals: Can you imagine a Chelsea-Arsenal Champions League final? That would be absolutely mental.

Barcelona and Lyon have dominated in Europe in recent times - Arsenal and Chelsea could not have asked for tougher opponents in a bid to reach the final.

Barcelona have reached the final five times out of the last six years, winning the title on three of those occasions.

On the two times they failed to get over the line - who did they lose to? Lyon, of course.

The French side have made the final 11 times in their history, winning an incredible eight titles. They most recently reached the final in 2024 where they fell to defeat by - yep - Barcelona.

Both sides made lightwork of their quarter-final opponents on their way to the semi-finals this year - Barcelona landing an incredible 10-2 aggregate victory over Wolfsburg while Lyon breezed past Bayern Munich 6-1 on aggregate.

The quadruple is important, but the Champions League is the one that has alluded them. Even if they don’t do the quadruple, if they win the Champions League, that will be the one for Millie and all the players that have tried to do it for years.

To win this tie and still be in it, up against Barcelona next who have got Chelsea's number, I think that is the one the players want. That is the one Bompastor wants and the owners have brought them in because she has done it. It will be interesting to see the mentality now to go and win that trophy that has always alluded them.

Chelsea are the only team of the four not to have lifted the women's Champions League trophy.

Arsenal won one of the first editions of the competition back in 2007 but have failed to repeat the feat since.

Their opponents, Barcelona and Lyon respectively, however, have dominated in Europe with the French side being the most successful women's team in the competition.

Champions League titles:

• Lyon x8
• Barcelona x3
• Arsenal x1
• Chelsea x0 (beaten finalists in 2021)
