Chelsea, Lyon, and Real Madrid Advance to Women's Champions League Quarterfinals

Posted : 21 November 2024

Chelsea secured their place in the Women's Champions League quarterfinals with a dominant 3-0 victory over Celtic on Wednesday. The Blues took an early lead through England international Lucy Bronze's volley in the second minute, followed by a header from Dutch midfielder Wieke Kaptein midway through the first half. Eve Perisset sealed the win with a penalty in stoppage time, as Chelsea extended their perfect record in Group B to four wins from four games.

 

Chelsea's manager, Sonia Bompastor, expressed her satisfaction with the performance, noting the importance of scoring early and maintaining a clean sheet. "It was really important to score the first goal, especially early in the game," she told UEFA.com. Under Bompastor, who took charge in May after three years with Lyon, Chelsea has won all 11 matches, and their progression to the knockout phase was confirmed with this convincing result.

 

In the same group, Real Madrid also advanced to the quarterfinals following a 3-2 victory against Twente. Despite being behind after Jaimy Ravensbergen's opener for the Dutch side, Madrid fought back with goals from Linda Caicedo, Signe Bruun, and Alba Redondo, who scored in added time. Twente managed a late goal through Sophie Te Brake but could not prevent Madrid from securing second place in the group. Bruun expressed confidence in Real Madrid's chances of progressing further, stating, "I can see Real Madrid going really far in this Women's Champions League campaign."

 

Meanwhile, Lyon remained perfect in Group A with a 4-1 comeback win over Roma. After Roma took the lead through Giulia Dragoni, Lyon responded with a quick-fire brace from Kadidiatou Diani, followed by goals from Eugenie Le Sommer and captain Wendie Renard. Lyon's perfect record kept them six points ahead of Roma and Wolfsburg, who thrashed Galatasaray 5-0 with a hat-trick from Alexandra Popp. Roma's upcoming match against Wolfsburg on December 11 will be crucial as they aim to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
