"It’s not about me," was the response from Bompastor afterwards but there was no hiding her enjoyment as the full-time whistle was blown in London. "I just wanted to enjoy it. You don't get that many opportunities in these great environments to get a victory and a clean sheet against Manchester City - one of the best teams in Europe.City had arrived in London unbeaten, with memories of their stunning victory over European champions Barcelona earlier this season still fresh in their minds.
It was a significant result, albeit so early on in the season, with Chelsea's game in hand giving them a wildcard in the title race. "Joining Chelsea, I was really aligned - and still am - with the vision and the ambitions. We are the holders in this competition. Bompastor said on Friday they "had a plan to deal" with Manchester City's domination of possession and it worked, despite their visitors having 63% of the ball."We have dominated a lot of games possession-wise but tonight we were happy to sit behind the ball, be compact.
