Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has called on her side to "be brave" when they host Lyon in the Women's Champions League at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues will take a 1-0 lead into the second leg after their narrow victory at the Groupama Stadium last week, with Guro Reiten's first-half effort separating the two sides heading into Thursday night's fixture. Chelsea are hoping to reach the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since the 2020/21 season, when they progressed all the way to the final before they were beaten by Barcelona.
This season, they finished top of a group consisting of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid without losing a single game. But while the Blues boast a slender lead going into the second leg, Hayes has admitted her side will have to be at their best if they are to send the reigning European Champions out of the competition in West London.
