Chelsea Reaches Women's Champions League Semi-Finals

Chelsea advanced to the Women's Champions League semi-finals with a remarkable comeback against Manchester City, securing a 3-0 victory in the second leg to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit and win 3-2 on aggregate. Key goals came from Sandy Baltimore, Nathalie Bjorn, and Mayra Ramirez in the first half. This victory marks Chelsea's fourth meeting with City in 12 days, having previously defeated them in the League Cup final and the Women's Super League. The semi-final will see Chelsea face the formidable Barcelona, who defeated Wolfsburg with a 10-2 aggregate score. Despite injuries to several key players, Chelsea's depth and strategic changes by coach Sonia Bompastor were crucial to their success. The upcoming clash against Barcelona will be a significant challenge, as Chelsea seeks to win the Champions League for the first time, having been thwarted by Barcelona in past seasons.
