Chelsea's Women's Champions League dreams were shattered once again as they suffered an 8-2 semi-final aggregate defeat to Barcelona. Sonia Bompastor, who took over from Emma Hayes with the aim of guiding Chelsea to European glory, accepted defeat but remained optimistic about the future. The French coach emphasized the need for improvement and highlighted the importance of closing the gap between her team and Barcelona. The home side conceded three goals in the first half at Stamford Bridge, with Karen Carney criticizing Chelsea's defending as "shocking." Despite the disappointing result, Chelsea can still secure a domestic treble by winning the Women's Super League title and the FA Cup.
