Nick Cushing’s side’s journey on the continent came to an end in the capital after suffering a 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, meaning the aggregate score was 3-2 in the Londoners’ favour.
After possessing an advantage heading into the clash following our 2-0 first-leg win at the Joie Stadium, the hosts in the second pulled a goal back through Sandy Baltimore who unleashed an unstoppable effort into the top corner.
Sonia Bompastor’s side then had wind in their sails and grabbed a second through Nathalie Bjorn’s header which levelled the tie.
But on the cusp of full-time, Chelsea pulled ahead when Mayra Ramirez tucked home from close range.
An injury-hit City side responded well in the second half, however, the goal we craved to send the last-eight clash to extra-time just evaded us as Miedema’s effort flashed inches past the post.
It means our Champions League quest this season is over as the WSL leaders advanced into the semi-finals where they’ll meet Barcelona.
