Women's Champions League quarter-final as it happened - Chelsea beat Lyon on penalties at Stamford Bridge

Terrific play from James! She receives a short corner and with brilliant close control, she turns her marker inside out before curling a shot at goal from an acute angle, forcing Endler into a fine fingertip save!

Gilles wriggles free at the far post as she meets Bacha's corner delivery but isn't able to direct her header on target.

Chelsea afford Lyon too much space down the right flank and the visitors work the ball into the middle. Gilles rifles a shot at goal and it's blocked by Cuthbertson. Huge block.

Chelsea work a clever short free-kick routine, it's eventually delivered into the Lyon penalty area where Bacha scrambles it behind for a corner.

The resulting set-piece comes to nothing.

Lyon are caught on the counter-attack as Kerr drops deep to win a header, nodding it into the path of James. Kerr continues her run and is released by James' perfectly weighted pass. With just the goalkeeper to beat, Endler is off her line quickly and makes a huge save to deny Chelsea the opener.

Carpenter is searching for Horan with her cross, but the defender can't turn her header goalwards as Chelsea clear.

A half chance for Chelsea as Kerr swipes at a volley but can't direct it on target.

Carpenter blocks a cross and Perisset will take the corner for Chelsea. It's delivered to the near post where Horan rises highest to head clear.

Charles concedes a free-kick for a foul on Bacha, who takes the resulting set-piece. She pumps it straight into the mixer but it's catching practice for Berger.

Chelsea are exposed down the left once more as a cross is delivered from the flank. Bruun takes aim with a volley but can't keep her effort down.

This is a huge let off for Chelsea! Eriksson makes a complete mess of her clearance and leaves Bruun with what looks to be a simple finish. With time and space, though, she blazes over with a wild effort from point-blank range.

Cascarino gets her shot away from the right side of the penalty area and although Berger is behind the effort, the Chelsea goalkeeper spills it. She's bailed out by her defence who scramble clear.

Chelsea have started on the front foot as they apply pressure down the left. Carter's cross is searching for a team-mate but lands in the arms of Endler.

Eight-time winners Lyon get us underway.

The players are greeted by a loud Stamford Bridge crowd as they make their way out onto the pitch.

Kick-off is NEXT!

The Gunners beat Bayern Munich 2-0 last night, overturning a one-goal deficit and advancing to the last four for the first time since 2013.

Renard will announce his first squad tomorrow ahead of the upcoming friendlies with Colombia and Canada.

Lyon have failed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League just three times since 2010 - and have never lost in England.

"This will be a tough match and we both have a lot of respect for each other and it’s one that I’m looking forward to even more.

"We have to have the right mentality to begin with and we have to be brave. You have to appreciate that their record speaks for itself.

"But it’s important for us as a team to impose ourselves, be aggressive in the right moments, be positive in everything we do on and off the ball and seek the opportunity that’s there in front of us.

"I know the entire dressing room is very much looking forward to it."

In total, Lyon have made three changes from the side that started the 6-0 win over Guingamp at the weekend.

Ellie Carpenter, Lindsey Horan and Delphine Cascarino come in for Alice Sombath, Vicki Becho and Melvine Malard.
