"A lot of happiness because it's always difficult to play in a final and win. Sometimes people just think because we are Chelsea, it's just a habit. But it takes a lot for my players to perform and grab a trophy. Really proud of my players. Every occasion, they just show up."
"I want to focus on players who are available, but if you look at the squad this season, it's been tough. We have had some big injuries, really important players who were not playing for us, but it just shows the quality we have in the squad."
Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the Women's League Cup final at Ashton Gate, with goals from Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones securing their fourth title. Manager Sonia Bompastor praised her squad's quality and resilience, noting they have won 14 of their last 16 meetings with United across all competitions. Bompastor has now won all six domestic finals in her managerial career, keeping clean sheets in four of those matches. Despite the cup success, Chelsea trails Manchester City by 10 points in the Women's Super League with only a 1.8% chance of catching the leaders. The team continues competing in the FA Cup and Champions League.
