"I will always expect to have a lot of noise around Chelsea. There will be noise when you are losing, or when something happens, because I think this club is the best in England. That's why this happens and I'm totally fine with it. It's important also when you are in high moments you don't go too high and in more low moments you don't go too low."
"We just want to win because that's part of our DNA. I don't want to win because people are talking or making noise. That's not what drives us."
Chelsea and Manchester United compete in the Women's League Cup final at Ashton Gate, with Chelsea defending their title and United seeking their first trophy in the competition. Only Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City have won since 2011. Chelsea swept all domestic trophies in 2024-25 under manager Sonia Bompastor but face pressure this season, trailing Manchester City by nine points in the Women's Super League. Despite recent challenges and off-field issues, Chelsea maintains an unbeaten record against United in 12 WSL matches and won two of the past three FA Cup finals against them. Bompastor emphasizes winning is part of Chelsea's DNA rather than a response to external criticism.
