Chelsea overturned a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to beat Manchester City 3-0 at Stamford Bridge and book a third consecutive Women's Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona. Captain Millie Bright spoke of her team's belief in their abilities, saying, "We were never in doubt. We had full confidence in ourselves." Chelsea have already won the Women's League Cup this season and are eight points clear at the top of the Women's Super League, with a place in the Women's FA Cup semi-finals also secured. The team's mentality and desire to come back from adversity were on show in the ruthless display against City, with Sandy Baltimore, Nathalie Bjorn, and Mayra Ramirez scoring in an explosive first-half performance. Karen Carney, a former Chelsea midfielder, commented on TNT Sports that the team's quadruple mentality is back on, stating, "They are not stopping, they are a train and when they are on it, you can't stop them. They will be thinking 'we want that quadruple and we are not going to stop'."
