Their only defeat was against Chelsea in the first leg of the quarter-final. Lyon are also in red-hot form at the moment, having lost just once in their last 10 games.

Chelsea have sealed our place in the semi-finals of this season's Women's Champions League in the most dramatic of fashions.

With seconds left to play, James made a dart for the by-line inside the penalty area and was barged in the thigh by Vicki Becho. [Jessie Fleming](/en/teams/profile/jessie-fleming) also made no mistake but after Wendie Renard saw Lyon’s third kick saved, James shot straight down the middle and that was saved too. Her Chelsea counterpart Kerr tried for a spectacular goal but could not pull it off on this occasion in one of the standout moments in the first 10 minutes after the restart. Far from being deflated by the setback, Chelsea quickly worked up a head of steam and pressed the French side back more than at any time in the game before. Again it was a ball drilled in low from the opposition right that did the damage. As the game settled down, it was Chelsea next to spurn a good chance. Brilliance from James out wide on the left made space for her shot which had Endler stretching to tip over the goal at the Matthew Harding End. The game was played at Stamford Bridge and with so much at stake, the first half was tense and at times a little scrappy but both sides could have taken the lead. In fact it was the reigning European champions who started fast. [Niamh Charles](/en/teams/profile/niamh-charles) in place of [Sophie Ingle](/en/teams/profile/sophie-ingle). Over the course of the two games the team has shown plenty of character to secure this victory. Chelsea kept them at bay relatively comfortably until there were just 13 minutes left of the 90 and two of our players had been lost to injury.

Match report as Vanessa Giles strike sends tie to extra-time before Lyon go ahead on aggregate when Sara Dabritz scores with five minutes remaining; ...

Everyone knew she was going to take that penalty and everyone knew she was going to score. "For Marun (Mjelde) to do what she did, last kick of the game, to have to place the ball three times, she's a Chelsea legend. The first goal was extremely important for us." What's more impressive is she took the first penalty of the shootout within a couple of minutes. Players have had to come into the game and play multiple roles. "Chelsea were resorting to long balls into the box, hoping for a second ball or something to happen. I felt I didn't see a goal in us to be honest. Chelsea boss Emma Hayes: "I didn't want to watch the shootout until Guro (Reiten) made me. But deep into injury time, Lauren James went down in the area under a challenge from Vicki Becho and after being instructed by the VAR to look at the pitchside monitor, referee Ivana Martincic pointed to the spot. Chelsea survived several early scares as Lyon went to reduce the deficit from the start. The midfielder walked down the tunnel in tears, holding her nose which had been bloodied in an accidental collision, and soon Gilles squeezed home at Berger's near post to force extra-time. In every game, including the last one, I didn't even know it was switched on.

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes was relieved after her team pulled off a dramatic rescue mission to knock eight-time champions Lyon out of the women's Champions ...

They join fellow WSL title contenders [Arsenal](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/arsenal-fc) in the last four who beat Bayern 2-1 on Wednesday night, with Hayes believing it is a big moment for the English league. But Lauren James went over in the box in the dying seconds and after a lengthy VAR review [Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-women-fc) were awarded a penalty. "I'm just so happy for English football that both teams are through," she added. "For Maren to do what she did with the last kick of the game, she's a Chelsea legend. Players have had to come into the game and play multiple roles. "I'm just relieved it's over and we're through," added Hayes. And Hayes labelled substitute Mjelde a club legend for her role in the remarkable win. When I saw Lyon's substitutes coming off the bench - it was one after another, all world-class talents - I felt we dealt with it well. Chelsea managed to get through despite missing England stars Millie Bright and Fran Kirby, while Pernille Harder is a long-term injury absentee. [https://reachsportshop.com/book/our-year-european-champion-2022/](https://reachsportshop.com/book/our-year-european-champion-2022/) I am exhausted.

In one of the most significant games in the history of Chelsea Women, Hayes' side showed sheer grit in extra time to outlast Lyon on penalties.

This result was years of progress in the making. For just the second time in the last eight seasons, the French juggernaut will not be advancing to the Champions League semifinals. Here are three takeaways from a sublime match of football that ended the only way Champions League nights at the Bridge this season know-how. Using her experience having netted big goals in the Champions League in the past, Maren Mjelde stepped to the spot as cool as the other side of the pillow. Hayes’ side still had a lot of work to do, but there was no way a team would be able to recover mentally in time to successfully defeat the opposition in a shootout. Down by a goal on aggregate with just ten minutes left in the tie, Chelsea Women needed to dig deep if there was any way to salvage their European season on their home soil.

But that’s football and it seems to be the Champions League throws up those type of moments as well. Such was the delay, that Mjelde’s resulting goal from the spot was officially timed as being scored in the 128th minute and proved to be the very last kick in open play. The first leg will be played at Stamford Bridge, on Saturday 22 April, and It was a huge night for the girls, a huge night for Emma, so I’m delighted for them.’ [Graham Potter](/en/teams/profile/graham-potter) and the rest of those in attendance at Stamford Bridge were witness to on Thursday evening.
