Preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Women’s Champions League semi-final second leg between Chelsea and Barcelona.
Sonia Bompastor faces the biggest challenge of her Chelsea tenure today. In fact Bompastor said: “I think this one will be probably the biggest one [challenge] in my career as a manager.” Outplayed, outclassed and ultimately outscored in the first leg at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, Chelsea trail Barcelona 4-1 in the Champions League semi-final.
It’s a familiar situation for Barcelona who have made light work of Chelsea over the last few years. They beat Chelsea in the semi-final of the last two Champions League campaigns, and in the final of the 2020/21 season when they trounced Chelsea 4-0.
Remontada may be the most overused in football, but if Chelsea were to progress against the originators, it would be one of the greatest comebacks in their history. It looks unlikely but crazier things have happened.
