All roads lead to the UEFA Women's Champions League final and the semi-final second legs are now complete!
Both Chelsea and Arsenal needed to overturn deficits on aggregate against Barcelona and Lyon respectively to reach the final in Lisbon next month.
Here's how the second legs played out...
Scorers: Endler (OG) 5', Caldentey 45+1', Russo 46', Foord 63', Dumornay 81'
In quite remarkable fashion, Arsenal produced a sensation comeback to defeat Lyon 4-1 (5-3 on aggregate).
An own goal from Christiane Endler in the opening five minutes offered the Gunners a glimmer of hope, and Mariona Caldentey then made it 2-0 on the brink of half time.
The second half display from Arsenal was even greater as Alessia Russo and Caitlin Foord scored another two to put the result beyond doubt.
Those goals provided the perfect margin as Melchie Dumornay pulled one back for Lyon in the final 10 minutes, but the French club had given themselves too much to do as Arsenal held on for the victory.
Scorers: Bonmatà 25', Pajor 41', Pina 43', Paralluelo 90', Kaptein 90+1'
It was an afternoon to forget for Sonia Bompastor's Chelsea as they crashed to a 4-1 (8-2 on aggregate) defeat to Barcelona.
The current holders simply had too much quality for Chelsea as Aitana BonmatĂ fired them ahead to extend their aggregate lead in the opening 30 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
Before the break, Ewa Pajor and Clà udia Pina also found the back of the net to crush any hope of a comeback for the London club.
Chelsea very nearly kept Barcelona at arms length in the second half, but Salma Paralluelo scored the fourth at the end of the 90 minutes before Wieke Kaptein found a mere consolation for the hosts in added time.
