Chelsea has achieved an impressive return to overcome Manchester City 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the women’s champions League, annulling a deficit of the first two goals to ensure a place in the last four with an aggregate victory of 3-2.
Chelsea, who has played the city four times this month, hitting them in the final of the League Cup and 2-1 in the Super League Women, established a repetition of last year’s semifinal against the headlines of Barcelona, who hit VFL Wolfsburg 6-1 on Thursday to complete a added victory of 10-2.
Directed from the front by the star of Matildas, Mary Fowler, City could not overcome a first half of Blitz in Chelsea, but had possibilities.
Chelsea took the lead in the 14th minute when Lucy Bronze’s shot hit the post before Sandy Baltimore was dressed in the rebound to overcome the city’s goalkeeper Khiara Keating.
Sonia’s team duplicated its advantage in the 38th minute when Nathalie Bjorn went home from the corner of Baltimore and Mayra Ramírez added a third five minutes later, ending the cross of Lauren James.
City refused to give up after the break and sought to capitalize on the mistakes of Chelsea, with Vivianne Medema, Mary Fowler and Kerolin, all are missing clear opportunities.
However, it was goalkeeper Keating, who denied Chelsea a room in Stamford Bridge, with the substitute for Aggie Beever-Jones, the left foot of the left was saved and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd’s late effort blocked.
“We never had doubts. We had full confidence in ourselves. We could have had more than three goals,” said Chelsea Millie Bright’s captain.
“We are a new team, we are on a new trip, we are in a new era. Transo.”
The eight times Olympique Lyonnais winners faces Arsenal in the other semifinal, with the final on May 24 in Lisbon.
