Sonia Bompastor channelled compatriot Édith Piaf, saying she wanted her players “to have no regrets” come the final whistle of their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City, and three first-half goals were the result of a relentless and battling performance to overturn the two-goal first leg deficit.
We have been waiting for Chelsea to move into fifth gear, for a display across 90 minutes reflective of their dominance in all competitions and the talent in the squad, and at Stamford Bridge Bompastor’s side delivered the gear change when it mattered most, goals from Sandy Baltimore, Nathalie Björn and Mayra Ramírez seeing off City in style.
