Barcelona booked a Women's Champions League semi-final tie against Bayern Munich after thrashing Real Madrid 6-0 in front of a crowd of more than 60,000 at Camp Nou.

Pere Romeu’s side completed an emphatic 12-2 aggregate win as captain Alexia Putellas marked her 500th appearance for the club by opening the scoring.

Caroline Graham Hansen struck twice, while Irene Paredes, Ewa Pajor and Esme Brugt were also on target.

It was the third heavy defeat Barca have inflicted on Real in just over a week after they followed up their 6-2 first-leg win by beating their arch rivals 3-0 in LaLiga F on Sunday.

Record eight-time winners Lyon will face Arsenal in the last four after extra-time goals from Melcie Dumornay, Damaris Egurrola and Tabitha Chawinga secured a 4-1 aggregate win against Wolfsburg.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Germany, Lyon levelled the tie through Lily Yohannes’ first-half effort, and midfielders Dumornay and Egurrola struck within the space of five minutes at the end of the first period of extra time.

Malawi forward Tabitha Chawinga added Lyon’s fourth in the closing stages of the second period.

Arsenal overcame Chelsea 3-2 on aggregate, despite a 1-0 loss in Wednesday's second leg at Stamford Bridge.
