Chelsea and Barcelona have won through to the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final in Sweden on 16 May.
Emma Hayes’ side won 4-1 on the day and 5-3 overall after plenty of late drama at Kingsmeadow.
Chelsea took a tenth-minute lead as Fran Kirby and Sam Kerr exchanged several passes and the former placed the ball between keeper and defender.
Jess Carter made a crucial block to turn Lineth Beerensteyn’s hit out for a corner but Bayern equalised inside the 30-minute mark, with an unstoppable 25-yard strike in off the bar by Sarah Zadrazil.
Right on half-time, the Blues regained the lead to make the tie dead level on aggregate, Ji-So-yun finding the corner of the net on the rebound from her own free kick which had only hit the wall.
The hosts got a third when Jess Carter’s free kick was met by a glancing header from Pernille Harder and although a number of last-ditch blocks were needed by Chelsea in a hugely tense finale, it was they who scored at the death, Kirby with an open-goal after Bayern had thrown everyone forward.
