  1. FT: Lyon 2-1 Chelseapublished at 18:00 British Summer Time 21 April 2019

    An encouraging fight back from Chelsea in Lyon means the Blues have hope of reaching the Women's Champions League final in Budapest on 18 May.

    A 1-0 win or better at Kingsmeadow next Sunday would be enough to send Emma Hayes' side through to their first European final.

    I hope you can join us again for that. Until then, good bye!
