But City continued to push and Ellen White won a penalty that Sam Mewis converted to make it 2-1.

The visitors had responded strongly to going down a goal and could have killed the tie in the first half but for defender Lucy Bronze, whose heroics twice denied Barca left back Leila Ouahabi on the goal line. Barca will now face the winners of the quarter-final between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris St Germain, which has been rescheduled for April 18 after several COVID-19 cases in the Lyon squad.Advertisement
