Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea (agg 2-1)
The home side threaten again with - you guessed it - Aitana Bonmati. The ball gets to Salma Paralluelo but Chelsea crowd her out and move forward.
Erin Cuthbert tries her luck from distance, well-struck but straight at Sandra Panos.

Into the last 15 minutes of the 90 and Chelsea are threatening to end Barcelona's long winning run at home.
That will mean little in the context of the tie, though, Emma Hayes' side need another goal to force extra time.

Former England international on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt all comes down to Sam Kerr. She's peeling out to that left-hand side. That's what we are used to seeing from Sam Kerr and it's no coincidence that since Chelsea have been in the game we are seeing more of her. Chelsea are getting the balls into her.

Here comes that double change for Chelsea. Lauren James and Pernille Harder come on.
Slightly surprisingly, goal-scorer Guro Reiten is one of those to make way. Jessie Fleming is the other.

Chelsea are right in this game!

That Chelsea goal momentarily stopped the celebrations among the Barcelona fans in the stands but they're roaring their team on again now.
Work still to do for Chelsea and Lauren James and Pernille Harder look like they're preparing to come on.

Laura Bassett
Former England international on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat's the best possible reaction. That's the first time Leupolz has played the ball to an already-running Sam Kerr. It comes from Cuthbert's tackle and then playing Kerr forward.
It's a good save from Panos and it's a great strike from Reiten.

Guro Reiten
Chelsea are back in it!
Melanie Leupolz lifts a ball over the top for Sam Kerr, she is stretching to reach it and Sandra Panos makes the save.
The ball breaks for Guro Reiten, though, and she lashes it into the empty net. Game on!

BBC Sport at Nou CampA devastating blow for Chelsea but it always threatened to happen as they started to push forward more.
Aitana Bonmati just waits for the perfect moment to play the pass and Caroline Graham Hansen, who scored that incredible winner at Stamford Bridge last week, was never going to miss.
Chelsea need to score twice to just stay in it now. Barcelona have won their last 19 games at home in the Champions League...

Laura Bassett
Former England international on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe two Barcelona players that were involved the most in that goal, Aitana Bonmati who has been outstanding tonight and Graham-Hansen.
Bonmati takes it from inside her own half and waits to commit the defender. Berger does well to close the angle, Jess Carter does well to get back on the line.
It was going in anyway, and it's cruel, but you just see the transition that Barcelona had.
GOAL - Barcelona 1-0 Chelsea (agg 2-0)published at 64 mins
Caroline Graham Hansen
Breakthrough for Barcelona!
Clinical from the home side on the counter-attack. A superb touch from Mariona Caldentey sets Aitana Bonmati away.
She advances to the edge of the box before slipping in Caroline Graham Hansen to her right and the forward calmly beats Ann-Katrin Berger to put Barca in front.

Whistles around the Nou Camp as the referee isn't happy with where Eve Perisset has placed the ball to take the corner.
It's moved but the referee had cleared had enough and blows for a foul inside the box the millisecond Perisset connects with the ball. Free-kick to Barcelona.
