Lyon 4-0 Wolfsburg…(Lyon win 4-1 on aggregate)
*****
BARCELONA DEMOLISHED RIVALS Real Madrid 6-0 tonight to progress to the women’s Champions League semi-finals, while Lyon will face Katie McCabe’s Arsenal.
Lyon ran riot in extra-time to beat Wolfsburg 4-0 to advance to the semi-finals 4-1 on aggregate. The French club set up a final-four clash with defending champions Arsenal who advanced past Chelsea 3-2 on aggregate on Wednesday despite a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Wolfburg had arrived in south-eastern France with a 1-0 first leg lead thanks to Dutch striker Lineth Beerensteyn’s goal in Germany.

But eight-time winners Lyon dominated with US midfielder Lily Yohannes opening the scoring after 16 minutes with the 18-year-old’s deflected strike finding the bottom-left corner.
The French side had beaten Wolfsburg in the league phase, but the Germans, whose two Champions League titles came back-to-back in 2013 and 2014, held on despite the hosts’ constant pressure.
Lyon, looking to win the title for the first time since 2022, then took control with their substitutes proving decisive.
After a Marie-Antoinette Katoto goal was disallowed for offside, Melchie Dumornay made it 2-0 from a corner taken by Selma Bachat after a VAR review after 102 minutes.
Damaris Egurrola then headed home another corner from Bachat five minutes later. Katoto and Dumornay had both come on as substitutes in the 69th minute, as had Tabitha Chawinga, who added a fourth after a counter-attack after 119 minutes.
Barca
Three-time winners Barca reached an eighth consecutive semi-final, with winger Caroline Graham Hansen netting twice and Alexia Putellas also on the scoresheet in the rout.

Pere Romeu’s dominant side, runners-up to Arsenal last year, will face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals after the German side knocked out Manchester United on Wednesday.
Despite missing key player and long-term absentee Aitana Bonmati, Barca put on a tour de force to entertain a 60,000-strong crowd, the fourth-highest attendance in the competition’s history.
Arsenal had progressed past Chelsea on Wednesday night, and will now face Lyon at home in the first leg of their semi-final on 25 April, while Bayern Munich will entertain Barcelona on the same night.
The semi-final second legs take place on 2 May, with the taking place in Oslo on 23 May.
