There was little chance of Chelsea not progressing to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Equally, there was little chance of Emma Hayes assuming the job was already done.
A 3-0 victory over Ajax last week had given the Blues a healthy lead at the halfway stage but nothing is ever guaranteed. Her side were not at their best in this second leg but it did not matter. A 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge was more than enough to set up what will likely be a mouthwatering tie with reigning champions Barcelona.
