MATCH (UK)

Women’s CL Semis

CHELSEA WOMEN have made it through to the semi-finals of the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE for the third time in four seasons! MATCH takes a look at why this could be the year they finally make the final…

-

THEIR FORM!

Chelsea Women have got to be one of the most in-form and confident clubs on the planet right now! They’ve won 19 of their last 21 matches in all competitio­ns and have only lost once since October 2020! They also smashed last season’s Champions League runners-up Wolfsburg 5-1 on aggregate – the same score the Germans beat The Blues by in the 2017-18 season. Revenge is sweet!

THEIR STARS!

This Chelsea team is packed with worldclass talent all over the pitch! Forwards Sam Kerr and Pernille Harder showed their lethal touch by scoring in both legs of the win over Wolfsburg, while England baller Fran Kirby has been directly involved in 12 goals in her last five matches in all competitio­ns! Ex-Bayern Munich baller Melanie Leupolz will have the inside knowledge on her old team too!

THEIR DRAW!

When you reach the semi-finals of the

Champo League, you know there’s not gonna be any easy matches – but The Blues will be happy to have avoided either of the French clubs! Seven-time winners Lyon take on their French rivals and 2019-20 semi-finalists PSG this week to see who faces Barcelona in the other CL semi-final, while Chelsea are taking on a Bayern side they eliminated on away goals in 2017-18!

THEIR MANAGER!

Wolfsburg ended three of Chelsea’s previous four C campaigns, so when The Blu knocked them out in the quart finals their boss Emma Hayes said i was her “most favourite win” in charg of the club! The 44-year-old has bee manager of the Londoners since 2012 and her guidance has helpe make them one of the biggest and most feared sides in the world. Awesome!
