Latest football news and reaction after Chelsea win and Celtic lose in Women's Champions League plus build-up as the Nations League returns.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has won the Women's Champions League three times - twice as a player and once as a manager with former club Lyon. She was pleased to get off to a winning start in her first game in the competition as Chelsea boss but felt the postponement of Sunday's Women's Super League match against Manchester United impacted their preparation. 'We have to play with a lot of intensity,' said the Frenchwoman.
'We scored the two goals but the players were not working as hard as I wanted them to work on the pitch. When we had the ball we were just walking to get the ball which is not enough. If you want to possess the ball, you have to run a lot.' Bompastor also said she wanted her side to 'manage the game more' after sloppiness let Real back into the game. 'When I say manage the game, it's not about slowing it down, but being smarter,' she added.
