The tie was level at 1-1 from the first leg, with Aitana Bonmatí cancelling out Erin Cuthbert's strike, but the game at Stamford Bridge turned decisively against Chelsea in the second leg. Buchanan stretched for a loose ball and was judged to have caught Patri Guijarro on the ankle, with referee Iuliana Demetrescu showing the Blues defender a second yellow card. Chelsea were left to hold off the European champions for the final 30 minutes with 10 players.

So I can’t be the only person that finds her insufferable. Never her fault.

[@omminous999]

That’s the refereeing equivalent of a surgeon removing the wrong leg!

[@Ayrtonium]

She seems like the type of specimen you’d find hanging around the outside of primark or sports direct

[@elloco1996]

If the UEFA has any balls they hand this fine lady a very substantial fine and an even more substantial ban.

[@RachelDavis705]

She's leaving to coach the USWNT so she's not coaching in a UEFA competition anytime soon

[@TheIrulex]

Not Barca Chelsea and refs again.

[@RachelDavis705]

The USWNT better start doing better under her, and I don't want to hear excuses like this
