Chelsea are out of the Women's Champions League after a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Barcelona.

Guro Reiten ensured the Blues got a 1-1 draw on the night with a fine finish but despite an excellent display, Chelsea couldn't find another goal to force extra-time.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Emma Hayes' side knew they needed to score within the 90 minutes to at least force extra-time.

Reiten lashed home a loose ball only minutes later to give the Blues hope, after Sam Kerr was denied.
