Chelsea has had a strong start to the season, leading the Women's Super League and remaining unbeaten in their first five matches, with four wins and one draw.

She emphasised that playing in the Champions League represents the pinnacle of club football. The club is determined to perform at its highest level and aims to progress as far as possible in the tournament.
Last season, Chelsea reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, showcasing their potential on the European stage. Bompastor's ambitions reflect a desire to build on that success and push further this year. The team is focused on maintaining their strong form as they embark on this challenging campaign.
