Celtic women are officially out of the Champions League.
Chelsea sailed through to the quarter-finals of the tournament with an easy 3-0 victory over Elena Sadiku's side last night.
The Hoops are still without a point in their maiden season in the Women's Champions League.
Lucy Bronze, Wieke Kaptein and a late Eve Perisset penalty seal the deal for Sonia Bompastor’s side.
Bompastor had demanded a fast start from Chelsea and she got it, with Bronze opening the scoring after just 65 seconds.
From a short corner, Catarina Macario sent in a deep cross and Bronze hooked in a volley at the far post.
It was not the most powerful of hits from the England right-back and Celtic keeper Kelsey Daugherty got a hand to it, but she was unable to keep it out.

They managed to steady the ship, putting together some neat spells of possession but without creating anything of note.
And Chelsea struck again from another corner routine after 25 minutes.
This time the ball came out to Guro Reiten, whose inviting delivery into the box was powerfully headed home by Dutch teenager Kaptein.
Bompastor, who made six changes from the team which beat Manchester City 2-0 on Saturday, was able to switch things up at half-time and bring on in-form Colombia forward Mayra Ramirez for Macario, who is still working her way back to full fitness.
Chelsea poured forward with Kaptein and Maelys Mpome seeing long-range shots fly narrowly over the crossbar while Reiten’s effort was cleared off the line by Kelly Clark.
Kaptein should have found the net on the hour with another header from Bronze’s cross but planted the ball straight at Daugherty.
Millie Bright saw a goalbound header blocked from another corner and Reiten’s fierce drive was charged down by Emma Lawton.
Ramirez almost added a third when she tried to glance in Ashley Lawrence’s cross at the near post but the ball flew across goal and wide.
With the clock ticking down there was a big moment for 17-year-old Lola Brown as Bompastor sent her on for a senior debut.
But it looked as though a third goal would elude Chelsea until, in stoppage time, Bronze went on a mazy run into the box and her cross was blocked by the arm of Shannon McGregor, allowing Perisset to lash home the spot-kick and add some gloss to a satisfactory night’s work.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
