The Blues won the quarter-finals at the cost of eight-time champions Lyon in dramatic fashion. Maren Mjelde's 128th minute penalty forced the tie into a shoot-out that the West Londoners clinched 4-3 at the same venue.
However, Chelsea face an even bigger task against the Catalan giants who pipped them to the title in 2021. Barcelona are looking to make their fourth final, and third in a row, after overcoming Roma 6-1 over their two legs in the last-eight.
