In the end, it all just proved too much for Chelsea.
Many would argue that the damage had already been done in Spain last weekend. With the deficit at just one after 80 minutes at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, Sonia Bompastor's side made the mistake of trying to seek another. As they broke forward, Barcelona sniffed blood and went for the kill, Irene Paredes and then Claudia Pina hitting two more against them.
Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas had to rein in her team-mates' celebrations at the full-time whistle. The job was not yet done, she argued.
