Chelsea Women’s Champions League preparations are in full swing as they prepare for a much-anticipated Group D matchup against Paris FC.
Chelsea, who are now two points behind leaders Hacken in the group, is keen to get a vital home victory.
In the previous round, Chelsea and Real Madrid played a hard match that resulted in a 2-2 draw. Chelsea encountered controversy with a disputed penalty during the match, despite leading and behind at different points. Even yet, a draw away from home in Madrid was viewed as a win, paving the door for a fierce matchup with Paris FC.
The Women’s Super League leaders showcased their dominance domestically, maintaining an unbeaten record with six wins and a draw from seven games.
Their latest triumph was a commanding 5-1 home win over Liverpool, where forward Lauren James stole the spotlight with a remarkable hat-trick. Chelsea’s prowess has been evident, and they are poised to translate their domestic success into a triumphant European campaign.
Reflecting on last season, Chelsea reached the semifinals of the Women’s Champions League but faced defeat against eventual winners Barcelona.
Undeterred, the team has shown resilience, boasting an impressive unbeaten streak of 17 games since that encounter. The Blues aim to build on this momentum and make a strong statement in the current edition of the competition.
On the other side, Paris FC has experienced a mixed bag of results. While they secured victories against Kryvbas and Arsenal in the qualifiers, their group stage journey began with a 2-1 home loss to Hacken.
However, they displayed resilience with a recent victory against Bordeaux in the French women’s Ligue 1.
The upcoming clash against Chelsea presents another opportunity for Paris FC to make their mark on the European stage.
