How do you follow up the biggest performance in club history? Perhaps by not letting the WSL title slip through your fingers against a London rival.
While Chelsea were busy punching our tickets to Gothenburg on Sunday, Manchester City quietly reclaimed top position in the league table. But with only one league match remaining for City, they need some unexpected assistance from the Blues to maintain that position.
Given how ruthless Chelsea have been all season, it’s highly unlikely the Blues will hand Manchester City a lifeline, but you never know. Two victories in our final two matches will see us defend the title and win the league for the second year running.

What a remarkable victory! Emma Hayes promised a performance of a lifetime from Chelsea and that’s exactly what she and the Blues provided.
The good news for Chelsea started before kickoff as captain Magda Eriksson was cleared to return to the starting XI. Her inclusion was a huge boost, not only because of her individual talent, but because Sophie Ingle could now drop into a three center back backline when Bayern attacked. The Blues looked bright from the opening and took an early advantage through Fran Kirby. Sam Kerr was able to find Kirby’s run into the center of the box and Kirby expertly finished, as she has so often this season.
