Chelsea Women's Team Wins Champions League Opener

Chelsea's ownership under Todd Boehly has become less intrusive over the past year, with Boehly attending fewer matches and focusing on the Women’s team's recent Champions League victory against Real Madrid. Despite internal rifts between Boehly and co-owner Behdad Eghbali, the men's team has shown improved performance, currently sitting fourth in the league. Meanwhile, Chelsea Women, now under new manager Sonia Bompastor, kicked off their European campaign with a 3-2 win, although attendance was notably low at 3,832. The men's team is also facing scrutiny due to a high number of yellow cards, leading the Premier League with 27 bookings in seven matches, raising concerns about discipline. Former manager Mauricio Pochettino previously expressed frustration over similar issues, indicating a systemic problem. As Chelsea reflects during the international break, defender Levi Colwill has been recognized for his outstanding performances this season, making the U21 Team of the Season.
