Manchester City ended Sonia Bompastor’s 28-game unbeaten streak with a 2-0 victory in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals. City hosted Chelsea in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals in the second of four meetings between the two sides in a 12 day period.

On a much better pitch condition than the one we had in Derby for the Women’s League Cup final, we expected Manchester City and Chelsea Women to bring their A-game. This is pretty much what they did in the first minutes of the match where our midfields clashed horns with one another in search of ball possession and bringing the ball forward.
