Ajax, PSG and BK Häcken completed the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final line-up while Chelsea won 4-0 at Paris FC to end unbeaten in their group.
Group D: Paris FC 0-4 Chelsea, Real Madrid 0-4 BK Hacken Group C: Ajax 2-1 Roma, Bayern Munich 2-2 Paris Saint-Germain
Jelena Cankovic set up two first-half goals for Chelsea away to Paris FC, Fran Kirby scoring the first with a free header at the far post and Mia Fishel nodding in the second. Guro Reiten and Maren Mjelde added one each after the interval in ending the hopes of their hosts. Hacken had done enough to go through anyway, winning at Real Madrid with a Rosa Kafaji header.
Elisa Bertoli had given Roma real hope of going through with the opening goal but Tiny Hoekstra levelled for Ajax and the Dutch side progressed instead when Zara Kramžar turned Sherida Spitse’s late corner into her own net.
Paris Saint-Germain topped the group as Bayern Munich bowed out, despite twice taking the lead through Giulia Gwinn and Klara Bühl. Tabitha Chawinga netted the first equaliser for PSG and a Sandy Baltimore drive was turned into her own net by Bayern’s Georgia Stanway in the dying minutes.
The confirmed last eight teams are group winners Barcelona, Chelsea, Lyon, PSG and group runners-up Ajax, Benfica, Brann, Häcken, with the quarter-final and semi-final draws to be streamed live on uefa.com at 12pm (UK time) on 6 February.
