""As soon as you win something as big as [the Champions League], there is a target on your back. There is an expectation that you should go on and do amazing things. Domestically, we haven't won nearly as much as we probably could have and we probably should have. There's really no excuses. We have the team. We have everything in place. It's about putting it together on the field and matching up to those expectations.""
""Chelsea stormed to a sixth successive WSL title in 2024-25, and their eighth overall, finishing 12 points clear of the Gunners in second. In what was Sonia Bompastor's first season at the helm, she also led the Blues to a domestic treble, triumphing in the League Cup and the FA Cup. One trophy that did slip through Chelsea's grasp last season was the Champions League, after they were thumped 8-2 by Barcelona in the last four.""
Chelsea completed a dominant 2024-25 domestic campaign, claiming a sixth successive WSL title and a domestic treble under Sonia Bompastor. Chelsea finished 12 points ahead of Arsenal despite failing to win the Champions League after an 8-2 semi-final defeat to Barcelona. Arsenal won the Champions League, defeating Barcelona 1-0 in the final via Stina Blackstenius, becoming the only English side to lift the trophy. Arsenal replaced Jonas Eidevall with Renee Slegers in October and face pressure to translate European success into WSL titles. Opta simulations give Chelsea a 72.4% title probability, Arsenal 10.1%.
