Ann-Katrin Berger made two saves in a penalty shoot-out as Chelsea knocked holders Lyon out of the Women's Champions League on Thursday to set up a semi-final with Barcelona.
The two-legged tie had finished all-square at 2-2, but only after Chelsea substitute Maren Mjelde scored a penalty in the eighth minute of added-on time at the end of extra-time to send the match to spot-kicks.
Germany goalkeeper Berger then denied Wendie Renard before ending the match when she got a strong hand to Lindsey Horan's strike low to the bottom left corner.
The Blues' 4-3 shoot-out success sparked joyous scenes at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea -- yet to win the Women's Champions League -- now facing a Barcelona side that beat them 4-0 in the 2021 final.
