Chelsea will kick off their Women’s Champions League campaign at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night as they face Real Madrid.
The Blues had a restful weekend after their WSL match against Manchester United was postponed due to scheduling conflicts.
Defending their WSL title last season, Chelsea, now under Sonia Bompastor’s management following Emma Hayes’ departure, secured a spot in the WUCL along with three other teams. Real Madrid, on the other hand, had to defeat Sporting CP over two legs to advance to the group stage.
Both Chelsea and Real Madrid are in Group B of the Women’s Champions League alongside Celtic and FC Twente. The outcome of Tuesday’s match could have a significant impact on the group standings.
Real Madrid has a perfect record in all competitions this season, just like Chelsea.
