From 2-2 nailbiter to 5-2 trouncing. That’s just how life goes for Chelsea Women.
A three-goal lead is comfortable. Sometimes a bit too comfortable. Our opposition in Real Sociedad will be as motivated as they were in the first leg to make history happen, especially at their home turf. The sooner we crush their hopes, the better.
