time and time and time and time and time again.
But one thing has changed from all of those losses: Sonia Bompastor. The French manager joined the Blues this summer after Emma Hayes sailed the high seas to take the United States job.
Bompastor has won the WCL twice as a player and – more importantly – once as a manager. Does she bring the experience needed to get Chelsea over the line?
That is yet to be seen, of course. First, Chelsea need to get through the groups and their first test is Real Madrid. The Spanish side are not as dominant as their league rivals Barcelona and their record is poor in Europe, but they do have a few stars that can hurt even the best of sides.
Let’s not waste any more time and get straight into the team news. Kick-off is set for 8pm BST at Stamford Bridge.
And, as always, if you have thoughts, questions, concerns, predictions or any thing else you want to share with me and the world, feel free to send me an email!
