Chelsea's Women's team is facing substantial challenges after a crushing 4-1 loss to Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semifinal. The defeat marks a significant setback as Chelsea, previously dominant in the Womenâs Super League, has ambitions to reclaim their position in the finals for the first time since 2019. Despite being on the brink of winning three domestic titles, the Champions League remains unattainable, showcasing the difficulties of overcoming the current top team in Europe with a three-goal deficit.
Having got the tactics right pretty much all season, it was the first time that Sonia Bompastor -- a former winner of the competition as both a player and a manager -- got it wrong.
Chelsea face a mammoth, almost impossible task to claw their way back into contention for a place in the final after slumping to a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona.
