Thank you for joining me for the first leg of this tie. Chelsea have a commanding lead heading into the second leg next week thanks to goals from Sjoeke Nusken and Lauren James. You can catch up with all the action with the report below. I will be back to bring you more Women’s Champions League action tomorrow, until then have a good evening.

Ajax will be a dangerous team heading to Stamford Bridge as they will have nothing to lose, everything to gain in a match where most will expect Chelsea to close out the quarter-final. Can they overturn the deficit? It’ll be tricky but it isn’t impossible.
