Posted : 15 November 2023
Millie Bright, the captain of Chelsea, expresses confidence in the team's ability to become a "dominant force" in the UEFA Women's Champions League this season. As they embark on their quest for a first triumph in the competition, Chelsea faces Real Madrid in their opening group game at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
Bright emphasizes the team's determination to excel in the Champions League, a trophy that has eluded them, and acknowledges the significance of taking it game by game. Despite previous setbacks in the competition, Bright remains optimistic about Chelsea's chances this season.
Manager Emma Hayes, who is set to depart the club to lead the United States women's national team, views winning the UEFA Women's Champions League as a potential "fairytale" ending to her successful 11-year tenure at Chelsea.
With numerous domestic titles under her leadership, Hayes is aware of the challenges posed by the Champions League and emphasizes the need for the team to maintain high standards and focus on each match. While acknowledging the sentimental aspect of potentially winning the Champions League in her final season, Hayes remains practical and emphasizes the importance of approaching the competition with the same mentality.
Despite the impending departure of Hayes, both Bright and Hayes stress the need for the team to stay focused on their football and not be swayed by sentiment. Bright affirms the values instilled by Hayes and emphasizes the importance of remaining focused and performing well. As Chelsea faces Real Madrid, a team with several players from Spain's World Cup-winning squad, Hayes anticipates a competitive and high-quality fixture, showcasing top football.
Chelsea's participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League this season holds extra significance as they aim to fulfill their dream of lifting the trophy and provide a fitting conclusion to Emma Hayes's remarkable tenure as the club's manager.
