Lucy Bronze Shines As Chelsea Secure Champions League Quarter-Final Place
By Blessing Okeke
Chelsea Women showed how strong they are with a solid 3-0 win against Celtic Women, booking their spot in the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals with two games left to play. Lucy Bronze got things off to a flying start, scoring just two minutes into the match.
The team stayed in control throughout, keeping the pressure on Celtic and not giving them much of a chance to fight back. Wieke Kaptein stood out by scoring her first-ever European goal, which boosted Chelsea even more. At the back, their defense was rock-solid, leaving Celtic with no way through.
This victory shows how well Sonia Bompastor is leading the team, with Chelsea still unbeaten in the competition. On the other hand, Celtic’s Champions League journey ended with this loss, their fourth in a row. Chelsea now looks like a team ready to go all the way in this year’s tournament.
