Rolfo bagged two in the rout with Leon, Oshaola and Guijarro also on target

Barcelona booked their place in the women's Champions League semi-finals with a comfortable 5-1 pasting of AS Roma, qualifying 6-1 on aggregate.

Salma Paralluelo's first leg lead gave the Catalans, who finished second to Lyon last season, a narrow advantage but they amplified it comfortably at Camp Nou before a crowd of almost 55,000 players.

Fridolina Rolfo netted twice in the first half, either side of a Mapi Leon piledriver to give Barcelona a nice cushion.

Asisat Oshaola and Patri Guijarro added further goals after the break, and Annamaria Serturini nabbed a consolation for the visitors.

Bolstered by the news Alexia Putellas could soon return from her long injury lay-off, Barcelona will now wait to see which of Chelsea or Lyon they will face in the semi-finals as they bid to win the trophy for the first time since 2021.
