Chelsea take the break… Follow the Champions League match

The moment of truth for the players of Sandrine Soubeyrand ? The Parisiennes de Charléty face the giant of their group: Chelsea, first in the English championship, Thursday November 23 at Stamford Bridge (London). While they had been brilliant in the qualifying phases, eliminating Wolfsburg and Arsenal, Julie Dufour’s teammates fell from the start. Yet announced as the most affordable opponent, the Swedish club BK Häcken inflicted a defeat (2-1) on them at home a week ago.

Not the best result for making your debut in the most prestigious of club competitions. In search of their first victory in this Group D, the two teams appear unequal in the face of the challenge. While Paris FC (under this name) discovers the C1, the Blues are used to playing the leading roles, having been finalists in 2021 and semi-finalists in 2023.
