Despite the European heartbreak, the mood in the Chelsea camp remains defiant as they pivot back to domestic matters. The Blues have already secured the Women's League Cup this season, but their iron grip on the Women's Super League crown is slipping. Bompastor's side currently trail leaders Manchester City by nine points with just three matches remaining, leaving them on the verge of missing out on the league title for the first time in six seasons and only the third time in 11 campaigns.
With their WSL hopes hanging by a thread, Bronze urged her team-mates to maintain the level of performance shown in the second leg against Arsenal, concluding: "We can be proud of ourselves, we were the better team, we won the game today. We need to take that energy and focus into the end of the season because there's still things to play for." The squad must now recover quickly as they prepare to face Tottenham in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday, looking to add a second piece of silverware to their season and bounce back from their European exit.
