Chelsea could not capitalise on their win in Barcelona as the Champions League holders inflicted a brutal blow on Emma Hayes in the semi-final second leg.
Emma Hayes' entrance at Stamford Bridge on Saturday was greeted with a roar as she waved to the crowd and smiled - but she left the pitch in tears, blowing kisses, as Chelsea's European dream was ended yet again by Barcelona.
She claimed her side had been "robbed" of the chance to challenge Barcelona's European dominance - a task that was "already hard enough". Sophie Ingle and Millie Bright have been with Chelsea throughout Emma Hayes' time at the clubHer ambition matched those of the club and the players as they embarked on a journey throughout her 12 years, all with the intention of winning this most prized trophy.
Other warriors of Hayes' tenure endured the pain too - Scotland international Erin Cuthbert, who has worn the armband in Bright's absence a lot this season, was on her knees at full-time and needed consoling by goalkeeper Zecira Musovic.While Hayes' farewell to Stamford Bridge ended in utter disappointment, there is still a big game to come at their usual home, Kingsmeadow.
It is the only trophy Chelsea can win this season, having already been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions.
