"Really exciting, I think as I already mentioned multiple times, when you are in Chelsea that's the games you want to play. You want to play to compete as far as you can in every competition, you want to play finals and you want to lift silverware, so that's the first opportunity for us on Sunday and we are really looking forward to that."
"That's a really important moment for us, the first opportunity for us to lift a trophy and that's part of our DNA. We see the game on Sunday being an opportunity for us to be successful and to hopefully define the rest of the season."
Chelsea faces Manchester United in the League Cup final on Sunday, seeking to defend their title. Manager Sonia Bompastor aims for her third cup competition win with Chelsea, putting her among the most successful managers in WSL history. Chelsea has reached seven League Cup finals, second only to Arsenal's ten appearances. Bompastor stresses that competing in finals and winning silverware defines Chelsea's DNA and culture. Manchester United will be the eighth different team to contest the League Cup final and the first debutants since Bristol City in 2020-21. Three of the previous seven debutant teams have won the trophy, including Chelsea in 2019-20.
