Erin Cuthbert says her winning goal against Barcelona "sits pretty high" in her career achievements but insists its importance is yet to be determined.

Scotland midfielder Cuthbert, 25, netted Chelsea's only goal of the Women's Champions League semi-final first leg, with the return leg in London on Saturday.

"It sits pretty high up there," Cuthbert told the BBC's Women's Football Weekly podcast.

"It might not mean a lot. It is the first leg. The importance of it will only truly be known after the second leg. It's a great start."

Cuthbert described the 40,000-strong crowd at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys as "very, very vocal".

"When the ball went in the net, I was just absolutely buzzing," she explained.

"I love when everyone's against you - us against the world. They have so many fans, they create a great atmosphere.

"Being able to silence them even for a couple of minutes was really nice."
