Keira Walsh, Chelsea midfielder, states her dream to win the Champions League with an English club as they face Manchester City in the quarter-finals. After recovering from injury, she returns to a squad where she hopes to replicate the success she had winning the Champions League twice with Barcelona. Desiring a homecoming, Walsh reflects on her growth in Spain while expressing excitement about contributing to Chelsea's aspirations for a first European title, drawing from her past experiences to enhance her performance in this competitive stage.
"My dream has always been to win the Champions League with an English club so hopefully we can do that," Walsh told BBC Sport.
"I did really enjoy my time in Spain... I created some really special memories... but I am really happy to be back and just want to hit the ground running with Chelsea."
"I wanted to go there [to Barcelona] because I thought I had a really good chance to win it..."
"I reached two Champions League semi-finals in my eight seasons with Manchester City but never went all the way in the competition with the Women's Super League (WSL) club."
