Chelsea WFC v Real Madrid Femenino in Group A of the UEFA Champions League at Kingsmeadow
The Blues face Les Blancas in the home leg on a cold night in Kingston.
This is a new ground for us, bit like a league 2 ground, nice and cosy. We are swerving the Pizza Cup and the World Cup by taking in a game in the UWCL group stage. It's game day 3 and Chelsea have won the first two and top the group. Not going to be an easy game though as tonights opponents knocked Man City out in the qualifying rounds.
Lots of very talented footballers on the pitch including favourites Fran and Millie. Also playing are Sam Kerr, Guru Reiten, Magda Erikson and Caroline Wier. No sign of our France favourite, Eve Perisset. Have another new favourite in Canadian defender Kadeisha Buchanan.
The sides battled it out in the first half. Some great football but not the finishing. The only real chance coming from Fran. No score at the break.
The breakthrough came from a set piece when Millie flicked on for Sophie Ingle to head home at the far post on 67 ⚽. We will never know about the second goal. Was it a shot or a cross? A simple throw down the line to Erin Cuthbert whose cross/shot curled into the top corner on 75 ⚽. 2-0 to the Blues and it stayed that way.
Still top of the group and looking good. Loving the silver ball. Looked like a ball bearing pinging around.
POTM: Millie. Part woman, part brick wall 🧱👩.
Scranometer registered a 9.5 for the Hero Plant BBQ bacon burger but it came from too far from the ground so was disqualified. Shame as it was love and if you are ever in Eden Walk in Kingston give Hero burgers a try even if he is West ham fan.
See you soon
