There’s only one way for Chelsea Women to leave their UEFA Women’s Champions League fate in their hands, which is beating Wolfsburg at the German side’s turf. We’ve done this once several years ago when
the Wolves were the team to beat in Europe. While they haven’t been as powerful in current times, gone are also the times of a win being a “given” for the Blues.

Substitutes from: Hampton, Buurman, Charles, Nüsken, Reiten, Kaptein, Rytting Kaneryd, Hamano, Jean-François, Potter, Beever-Jones
