Chelsea has a golden opportunity to etch their name in the annals of football history by finishing the Women's Super League (WSL) season unbeaten. Manager Sonia Bompastor has emphasized the significance of this potential achievement, stating that it would be a monumental moment for the club and the players.

The Road to Invincibility

Chelsea, already crowned champions, are aiming to become the first team in WSL history to complete a 22-game season without a single defeat. Their final league match against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday at 12:30 BST is crucial. A win or even a draw would secure their place in history.

Bompastor's Vision

Since joining Chelsea from French giants Lyon in August 2024, Bompastor has had an impressive first season. Apart from a defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea has been dominant. Bompastor's leadership has been instrumental in their success, and she is keen on achieving the domestic treble, which includes the Women's League Cup and the Women's FA Cup final against Manchester United on 18 May.

Historical Context

Only a few teams have managed to go through an entire season unbeaten in the WSL. Arsenal (2012), Manchester City (2016), and Chelsea (2017-18) have achieved this feat, but not in a 22-game campaign. Bompastor highlighted the rarity of such an achievement, comparing it to Arsenal's men's team's invincible season, which is still celebrated today.

Respect and Honor

Liverpool will give Chelsea a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge, a gesture that Bompastor appreciates. She believes it shows respect and values that are essential in football. After the match, Chelsea will lift the WSL trophy, marking the culmination of a remarkable season.

The Final Push

With two critical games remaining, Bompastor has urged her team to stay focused and professional. The stakes are high, and the opportunity to make history is within reach. Chelsea's players are determined to seize this moment and create a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.
