Manchester City ended Chelsea’s unbeaten run this season as Vivianne Miedema scored twice to give her team a 2-0 win in the Women’s Champions League quarterfinals.

Manchester City put one foot into the Champions League semi-finals with a magnificent victory over Chelsea at the Joie Stadium. Vivianne Miedema struck twice in the second half as the Blues inflicted the first defeat of Sonia Bompastor’s reign and consigned the Londoners to a first loss since May 2024.

On a much better pitch condition than the one we had in Derby for the Women’s League Cup final, we expected Manchester City and Chelsea Women to bring their A-game. This is pretty much what they did in the first minutes of the match where our midfields clashed horns with one another in search of ball possession and bringing the ball forward.
