Sonia Bompastor wants Champions League success after Chelsea seal domestic treble

Sonia Bompastor wants Champions League success after Chelsea seal domestic treble

Sonia Bompastor is targeting the Champions League with Chelsea.

The Blues sealed an unbeaten domestic treble by beating Manchester United 3-0 in the Women's FA Cup final on Sunday (18.05.25) but the coach doesn't think her team can truly be considered great unless they triumph in Europe after being beaten in the semi-finals of the continent's top competition by Barcelona.

Bompastor said: "We are super happy but we didn’t win the Champions League, which was also one of our goals.

"Some of the people there on the pitch were already ­mentioning, ‘We are missing the Champions League’, so that’s who we are, that’s our goal. I want to make sure we are all able to achieve that goal, to win the ­Champions League with the club.

"Everyone is saying, ‘Maybe ­Chelsea will run away from the pack’, in the league in England, but our goal for us is to compete against the best teams in Europe, so it’s nice to have this domestic treble but we want to make sure, in the future, and ­hopefully next season, we are able to compete against the best teams in Europe."

Chelsea have been more dominant than ever in the English game this season but Bompastor wants her team to face stiffer competition next term.

The French manager said: "We want that competition, to produce our best. We want to make sure we’re top of the league and bring everyone else with us – this is what we want to achieve – but we need the other teams to still invest and come with us."

Chelsea were watched on at Wembley by the club's co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali and Bompastor says it shows the support for the women's game from the powers that be at Stamford Bridge.

She said: "It’s really enjoyable for us to see all the people from ownership were here, but even more important to feel they were really behind the team. It just shows as a woman, when you play in football, and the women’s game, you are in the right club, and you really want to give that back on the pitch for all these people."
