Arriving in Chelsea during the last summer transfer market, Sonia Bompastor did not take long to make an impression on the other side of the Channel.
For his very first season at the head of the London club, the former coach of Olympique Lyonnais brilliantly led the blues to a sixth consecutive title in women’s Super League. A historic feat, formalized from the penultimate day of the championship. It was on the lawn of Manchester United, in a tense and fierce match, that the Chelsea players won their national crown. A short but precious 1-0 victory, obtained thanks to an achievement of the English international defender Lucy Bronze, was enough to ensure the coronation. This new title of champion of England is added to another trophy already won this season: that of the League Cup.
Chelsea targets a hat -trick
But the blues season is far from over. On May 18, the team led by Bompastor will have the opportunity to conclude this campaign in style, with a national triple. Indeed, Chelsea will compete in the FA Cup final, once again against Manchester United, with the ambition to register an additional page in the history of English women’s football.
Despite a heavy elimination in the semi-finals of the Champions League against FC Barcelona, a cumulative defeat of 8-2 on the two rounds, the London club continues to dominate the national scene without sharing. This success is based on a solid and homogeneous collective, to which several French players make a decisive contribution. The Maelys Mpome, the versatile player Oriane Jean-François, midfielder Sandy Baltimore, all play an essential role in this performance dynamic. With her experience of the very high level acquired in Lyon, where she had already won many titles, Sonia Bompastor confirms her ability to build, federate and guide teams to excellence. In London, the reign of the blues continues with brilliance, led by a charismatic coach.
