Chelsea's Women's Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge will be played in front of a sellout crowd.

It is the first time that the home of Chelsea's men's team has sold out for a women's game.

Their previous home attendance record is 38,350, set in November 2022 in the 3-0 Women's Super League win over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.

Emma Hayes' side head into Saturday's game (17:30 BST) with a 1-0 advantage thanks to Erin Cuthbert's goal in the first leg.

Chelsea's usual home has been the 4,354-capacity Kingsmeadow.

They have played all of their Champions League games, plus four WSL fixtures at Stamford Bridge this season.
