Chelsea women faced another disappointing exit in the UEFA Women's Champions League after a heavy 8-2 aggregate defeat to Barcelona in the semi-finals. Despite their domestic successes, the team struggles on the European stage, having been eliminated by Barcelona for the third consecutive season. Coach Sonia Bompastor emphasized the need for reflection and improvement, acknowledging the disparity in performance levels between Chelsea and Barcelona. The latest defeat, characterized by a defensive collapse, highlighted the urgent need for Chelsea to refine their approach to compete effectively in future tournaments.
It didn't happen this year but now we need to reflect on how we make it possible. The only positive is in my head it is really clear what we need to do to compete for the Champions League.
The gulf you have seen between the two teams is absolutely huge. This team is ridiculously good, but the defending from Chelsea has been shocking.
