Ahead of their return to action this Saturday, when they host Aston Villa, a Chelsea trio were spotted in the Stamford Bridge stands on Thursday evening to watch Chelsea Women in action. Emma Hayes' side progressed to the Women's Champions League semi-finals after a dramatic night in west London which saw them knock out holders Lyon via a penalty shoot-out.
It was an extraordinary end to a thrilling two-legged affair as Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the final seconds of extra time, while trailing 2-1 on aggregate. Under huge pressure, Maren Mjelde stepped up to fire home the spot-kick and set up a shootout climax.
Amid all the drama and rage from the visitors, the hosts were able to compose themselves for the shootout, as goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger pulled off two excellent saves to deny Lindsey Horan and Wendie Renard and spark wild celebrations from the home faithful. Having won the first-leg 1-0 on French soil, the Blues were pegged back in normal time before going behind for the first time in the tie on 110 minutes.
