Chelsea's hopes of lifting the Champions League trophy were dashed by Barcelona, revealing a stark quality gap on the pitch. Despite investing heavily in player acquisitions like Mayra Ramirez and Naomi Girma, under new manager Sonia Bompastor, Chelsea faced challenges adjusting from Emma Hayes' era. Their domestic unbeaten run raised expectations, but the defeat exposed underlying issues and growing pains in their transition. Barcelona's experience and clinical finishing proved too much for Chelsea, signaling that, while improvement is evident, they are not yet at the elite level required for European success.
For Chelsea have been building a squad with the clear intention of lifting the coveted Champions League trophy themselves.
Bompastor's team closing in the Women's Super League title, having overcome every obstacle that has stood in their way.
