Just how wasteful were Chelsea with their chances? Did Sonia Bompastor’s fury at the referees overshadow the match? How special was Barcelona’s return to the Nou Camp, where Alexia Putellas celebrated her 500th match in style? Did Lyon disappoint despite advancing? What is Bayern Munich’s secret weapon?
