S.Sherrington’s Thoughts:
Unfortunately for chelsea this is a real check, losing to Barcelona 4-1. This is the Level Chelsea Have Been at All Season, they have just been verby, scraping over the link in Nearly all the other games!

Kirk Writes:
HAD GIRMA Been Healthy, I am Sure Bombastor Wald Have Gone With a Back Five. Welf Have Love to See Bronze and Baltimore Hitting the Fanks. Surprined Reiten Did Not Start in Place of Jones, Welf Haveded to See Jones AN IMPACT Sub. Walsh has not Impressed this Season, Couelf Have Preferred Nüsken. Barcelona can be haad and I believe Chelsea are team to do it.
I Chelsea Had A Good Spell But Still Rarely Threated Coll. Their First Shot on Target Was Beever-Jones’s Free-Kick in Added Time at the End of the Half.

As Putellas Prepared to Take Her Spot-Kick, there was a shoresing noise rippling around the home crowd as the Barcelona Supports Tried to make it as quiet as posible for their Talismanic Former Ballon D’or Winner. The Chelsea Fans – Situated at the Opposite End of the Stadium – Were Still Doing their Best to Put Putellas of Fru AFAR, But Hoton Had the Save in the Bag Anyway. That’s one of the Most Important Saves of Hampton’s Young Career Sofar.
Half-Time: Barcelona 1-0 Chelsea
Chelsea Win Another Corner But Nothing Come from It Before the Referee Blows Her Whistle. Hampton Kept Chelsea in the Game Early on Especially with her Penalty Save Against Putellas But Pajor’s Strike in the 35th Min is What Security The Two Sides.
45+5 min: The Corner Come in and Bronze Creates Space for Herself by Pushing Away Her Defender but the Ball Goes Just Over Her Head. Chelsea Are Pushing for An Equaliser Before the Half-Time Whistle.
45+3 min: BONZE Gets Challenge in the Box and Moments Later Bonmatí Fouls Cutert. The Referee Blows Her Whistle for the Latter But Bronze is FUMING – She Wants a Penalty But She is not Going to Get One. But Chelsea Still have a dangerous free-kick about 25 yards out … Beever-Jones Takes It and Forces A Big Save out of Coll on the Keepers Left! Big Chance for Chelsea and them now have a corner.
45+2 min: Graham Hansen Attempts Her Trademark Curler from the Right But Her Shot Is High and Wide.
45 min: It is all a bit screen now. Cutebert Gets Fouled and Bombastor Wants A Yellow for Guijarro But the Referre Pays No Mind to the Head Coach. We will be getting at least 6 Minutes of Added Time in this Half.
