"Every year you set goals for yourself and for the team. Being at Chelsea, it's always about being in cup finals, about winning trophies, keeping the club at the highest level and wanting to continue that. The League Cup is the first one in the season, the first time you can get your hands on some silverware. I think that's quite important for the momentum in this part of the season as well."
"With the incoming changes to the League Cup from next season, this could be Bronze's last opportunity to win the competition. As well as a likely name change, it has been confirmed that Women's Super League clubs who qualify for the Women's Champions League will not compete. The current format meant that Champions League teams only had to play three games to win the trophy."
Lucy Bronze, a 34-year-old veteran with over 20 major trophies, joined Chelsea in summer 2024 and helped secure a domestic treble in her first season. Chelsea face Manchester United in the League Cup final, with Bronze emphasizing the importance of winning early-season silverware for team momentum. The League Cup format will change next season, with Women's Super League clubs qualifying for the Champions League no longer competing in the competition. This could be Bronze's final opportunity to win the League Cup, as the current format allows Champions League teams to win the trophy with just three matches. Despite understanding the reasoning behind the changes, Bronze expressed disappointment about potentially missing future competitions.
