Manchester City crash out of Women's Champions League on aggregate despite beating Barcelona 2-1... as goals from Janine Beckie and Sam Mewis are not enough to progress

Manchester City were eliminated from the Women's Champions League after a 2-1 victory against Barcelona was not enough to stop them losing the quarter-finals 4-2 on aggregate.

The hosts had an enormous task ahead of them to get to the semi-finals after losing 3-0 in Barcelona last week. City got off to the perfect start when forward Janine Beckie slotted home from close range after 20 minutes.

Barcelona remained a threat throughout, though, and all but dashed City's hopes early in the second half when Asisat Oshoala equalised after City gave the ball away cheaply just outside their penalty area.
