Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea: As it happened
Barcelona went into the game on Thursday with the edge having defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the first leg thanks to a Caroline Graham Hansen goal.
With the mental advantage and home support, they started the second leg, the brighter side although, their flurry of opportunities in the first half was all wasted.
The hosts eventually got a hold of themselves after a double substitution on the hour and broke the deadlock.
A counter-attack saw Graham Hansen get herself into a dangerous position in the visitors box, before finishing off finely past Ann Katrin Berger.
Chelsea responded almost immediately as Guro Reiten benefitted from an earlier attempt by Sam Kerr to put the ball past Sandra Panos and level the game.
The equalizer was however, all there was to it as Barcelona held on to their aggregate lead and wrap the game up at 1-1 to move into their fourth women's final in five years.
