Millie Bright believes Chelsea's past misfortune in the Champions League has placed them in ideal stead in their pursuit for the trophy that has agonisingly eluded the club.
The Blues have established themselves as an insatiable silverware beast in the women’s game over the last decade and since the England centre-back’s arrival to the west London club in 2015, Chelsea have claimed six WSL title, two Conti Cups and four FA Cups. Yet, one trophy painfully remains absent from manager Emma Hayes ’ cabinet: the Champions League.
In 2021, the Blues reached the tournament’s final but fell to a 4-0 defeat to an impeccable Barcelona side. The following season, Chelsea failed to get out of the group stages.
