After a string of near misses, Chelsea Women will finally realise their dream of playing in a Champions League final when they face Barcelona Femeni in Sweden on Sunday, and are eager to prove themselves as winners.
It is no secret that manager Emma Hayes has long targeted a spot in the European showpiece, having twice been knocked out at the semi-final stage in recent seasons.
But after an incredible semi-final second leg performance against Bayern Munich, Chelsea Women’s staff and players will finally be involved in arguably the biggest game in the team’s history with one aim – to bring home the trophy.
They will be hoping to add the silverware to an already growing collection this season, having secured their second successive WSL title last weekend and the Women’s League Cup earlier in the year.
