Chelsea's Struggle Against Barcelona in Women's Champions League

Chelsea face a huge challenge after losing 4-1 to Barcelona in the Women's Champions League.

Chelsea, accustomed to success in England, have repeatedly encountered difficulties when facing Barcelona in Europe. In the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League for the third consecutive year, Barcelona dominated, defeating Chelsea 4-1. The defending champions have caused Chelsea heartache in the past two seasons. Despite this setback, Chelsea's new manager Sonia Bompastor and players remain hopeful for a turnaround in the second leg.

Former England midfielder Fara Williams described Chelsea's performance as naive. The stats also indicated Chelsea's inferiority. Bompastor admitted mistakes but remains positive.

Can Chelsea overcome this seemingly insurmountable task? One player, Lucy Bronze, believes it's possible.
