Chelsea Women’s Football Club just pulled off an amazing double! They just finished a domestic treble by winning the Women’s Super League, the League Cup and the FA Cup. Despite being an expansion team, the team pulled off a shocking 3-0 victory against powerhouse Manchester United in the FA Cup final. They performed at Wembley Stadium, stunning a record English concert crowd of 74,412 fans.
It’s easy to look past head coach Sonia Bompastor’s first year finally allowing for something new, after Emma Hayes’ 12 years at Chelsea changed everything. With Bompastor’s leadership, the club accomplished an unprecedented victory. Chelsea’s dominant performance throughout the domestic season culminated in an unbeaten run, showcasing their strength and resilience on the pitch.
A Stellar Performance in the FA Cup Final
Sandy Baltimore of Chelsea had a great FA Cup final, playing a wonderful game. She netted a brace and added an assist, leading her squad to a commanding win. She opened the scoring with a penalty just before the break, ensuring Chelsea took a vital lead into halftime. In the 84th minute, Catarina Macario sealed the win with a third goal, confirming Chelsea’s status as the top team in women’s football.
Chelsea have just won the FA Cup again! This historic victory serves to further cement the NWSL’s reputation as a powerhouse in women’s soccer.
“To achieve a treble in England, it’s difficult to find the right words to describe that,” – Sonia Bompastor.
Chelsea’s triumphs extend beyond the FA Cup. Just a few months ago, earlier this season, the team won the League Cup trophy, beating Manchester City. It was a sixth straight win as their remarkable run of form continued in the Women’s Super League. That victory points to how overwhelming they’ve been in English women’s football.
Dominance in Domestic Competitions
The consistency and performance of the team under Bompastor has captured the attention of fans and commentators as much as players.
This treble replicates Chelsea’s success in the 2020-21 season when they accomplished a similar treble under Emma Hayes as well.
“I want my players to really enjoy it. We worked hard all through the season. It was not easy and to achieve that, it will be part of history,” – Sonia Bompastor.
The success of Chelsea Women is by no means a new story on a global scale. Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and an investor in women’s sports, celebrated the team breaking new ground and their exciting potential to grow.
Future Aspirations and Global Recognition
The success of Chelsea Women has not gone unnoticed on a global scale. Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and an investor in women’s sports, praised the team’s impact and potential for growth.
“Chelsea is very unique. These are the queens of global soccer and they’ve got the trophy case to prove it,” – Alexis Ohanian.
Ohanian further expressed his belief in Chelsea’s future prospects:
“This will be a billion dollar franchise one day and I hope my dollars, my pounds, can go towards that and especially back home in America, this is going to be America’s team.”
