Chelsea’s European glory hunting was interrupted by Barcelona during successive seasons – but this year, blues have an additional incentive.
A quadruple is on the cards with Chelsea having already won the female league cup, while they are clear at eight points at the top of the female super league and in the female semi-finals of the FA Cup.
“The quadruple mentality is back,” said the former Chelsea midfielder Karen Carney, on TNT Sports.
“They don’t stop, they are a train and when they are on it, you can’t stop them. They will think” we want this quadruplage and we are not going to stop “.
Bompastor says that she did not allow herself to think of a transport of four trypic, but Chelsea’s ambitions are clear – and the way they sent City on Thursday suggest that they are up to the challenge.
“We had all the belief in this game that we were able to overthrow him,” Bright told BBC Sport.
“We were fully confident and (knew we had) needed to be ruthless. It was a real Chelsea performance. The fans were incredible.
“It is mentality and belief and everyone intensifies and delivering.”
Chelsea was much higher in all the departments, with Sandy Baltimore, Nathalie Bjorn and Mayra Ramirez on the match sheet in an explosive screen in the first half.
They pressed the city intensely and finished clinically to take a global lead, but could have added more to their counting with Bjorn and Erin Cuthbert hitting the woodwork, while Johanna Rytting Kanerney and Ramirez have missed other chances.
“It is the Chelsea that we know, it is the Chelsea that does it. It was energy, hunger, desire,” said the former Eni Aluko Blues striker.
“The quadruple is important, but the Champions League is the one that has escaped them.
“Even if they don’t make the quadruple, if they win the Champions League, it will be the one that the players have tried to do for years.
“The owners brought Bompastor because she did.”
