For most teams, winning a trophy and qualifying for the Champions League is enough. For Chelsea — six-time consecutive champions until 2024/25 — that's a failure. Sonia Bompastor faces the pressure of reclaiming the crown.
The French manager arrived at Chelsea in 2024 from Lyon, eight-time Champions League winners. Her job: to reclaim the lost WSL throne.

Chelsea dominated the WSL with an iron fist: six consecutive titles between 2019/20 and 2024/25, under Emma Hayes and then Bompastor. The standard was to always win.
But third place in 2024/25 broke the streak. Arsenal won the Champions League, Manchester City reclaimed the title, and Chelsea finished third.

The Frenchwoman arrived at Chelsea after years at Lyon, where winning the league was almost a given. That winning culture is what she seeks to restore.
Their first year was a paradox: they won a trophy (Chelsea's debut Champions League title) and qualified for the Champions League, but lost the league. The second year must be about reclaiming the throne.

“Chelsea are not used to seasons without a title. Bompastor has one year to restore their dominance.”— GOAL Analysis, Chelsea WSL 2026/27
