      ‘Each game matters so much’, says Kadeisha Buchanan ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League battle with Barcelona

      by

      LIFTING a Women’s Champions League trophy in Chelsea’s famous blue shirt would be Kadeisha Buchanan’s “all moment”.The Canada centre-back, 28, has had plenty of experience of winning the top club prize for Europe’s elite women’s football sides.Kadeisha Buchanan and Chelsea will take on Barcelona away in the first leg of their Champions League semi-finalCredit: GettyThe WSL leaders hope to reach the contest’s final for a second time under manager Emma HayesCredit: EPABuchanan hopes to go all the way in the Champions League with Chelsea just as she did with former club LyonCredit: GettyWith French giants Lyon, whom she left two years ago in June for the Blues, Buchanan has triumphed in the competition on five separate occasions.Her old side currently hold the record for the most trophy wins in the tournament’s 23-year history, having won it eight times previously.The highly coveted prize remains the only major honour to elude Chelsea who, under boss Emma Hayes, have won more WSL titles than any English side.Buchanan, who netted in the Blues’ 3-0 Wednesday night defeat of Aston Villa, said: “That’s what I came here for.

That would be my ‘all’ moment.”It’s exciting but you have to take it one game at a time.”I think we’re doing a great job doing that, just focusing on each game and each game being like a championship because at the end of the day it is.”Each game matters so much and you just focus on one step at a time.Most read in FootballWith an FA Cup semis loss to Manchester United ending Chelsea dreams of a silverware triple this term, hopes of a double rest with their Champions League and WSL title hunt.Today Buchanan and her team-mates will begin the formidable task of attempting to knock out two-time winners Barcelona over two legs in this year’s semis.The Catalan juggernauts – unbeaten in Spain’s top tier with 22 wins in 23 games and 102 goals – have been a nemesis for the English league leaders in recent years.The team defeated Hayes’s side 4-0 in their first Champions League final foray three years ago.However, their last four knockout of Chelsea last April was a much tighter affair scoreline-wise.A 2-1 win on aggregate sealed their progress to a June final where they battled from 2-0 down to beat Wolfsburg 3-2.The second half of this season, and Hayes’s last before her reign as USA Women’s boss starts, has seen Chelsea battle for silverware with some key players absent.Long-term injuries have sidelined strikers Sam Kerr and Mia Fischel with both recovering from anterior cruciate ligament ruptures.But  team have been given a fitness boost with Hayes confirming Lauren James and centre-back and skipper Millie Bright as available for selection. Forward James, currently second highest goal scorer in the WSL this term, missed her team’s win against Villa on Wednesday due to injury. And Bright returned to training following a five-month absence with a knee concern. Buchanan believes the depth and calibre of Chelsea’s squad will be key to their push for trophies, including a seventh WSL title, in the final weeks of the season.The defender, who has made 14 WSL and European appearances this term, added: “We always have that confidence and belief that whoever is out on the field is well capable of getting the job done.Chelsea have been boosted by captain Millie Bright’s return to training ahead of their clash with BarcelonaCredit: Getty”Even if they didn’t play three, four games or even if they didn’t start five or 10 games, when they’re out on the field, you trust them to get the job done.”I feel that as for myself as well, if you don’t always start, that doesn’t matter.

      Guro Reiten reckons Chelsea’s duels with Arsenal are the ‘best games to win – but the worst to lose’

      GURO REITEN insists Chelsea are ready to “run through a brick wall” for Emma Hayes as they chase a quadruple trophy triumph.

Since her May 2019 transfer from Norwegian side LSK Kvinner for a reported £13,000 fee, Chelsea have won 10 major trophies including four league titles.The Blues ace, whose mother coached her to play in multiple positions during her childhood, credits Hayes with continually raising standards in Chelsea’s performances.She adds: “Emma demands so much from us every single day, raising our standards.”She says, what was good enough yesterday isn’t good enough tomorrow, it’s kind of her thing.”With this league, the level is so much higher, and you need to take steps to just be a part of this team.”But Emma is honest, she will tell me what I need to do better.”She wants to see the effort, the energy and everything put into it.”Everyone is willing to go through a brick wall for her.”We want to be better as individuals, but also as a team. “And even though there have been challenges and tough times, we have that mentality.”Among the challenges the two-time League Cup winners have faced this term are injuries to a few senior players including skipper Millie Bright and star striker Sam Kerr.The team are also without forward Mia Fishel and defender Aniek Nouwen. The duo, like Kerr, are currently sidelined by anterior cruciate knee ligament injuries.And these circumstances have led Chelsea to rely on the strength in depth of their squad during a run of 16 wins from 19 games.

It’s going to be interesting to see.”Over the course of her Chelsea career Reiten has emerged as an influential figure on and off the pitch for the WSL giants.Her deft touch in their Champions League quarter-final second-leg draw with Ajax set up the first Blues goal in the contest for record signing Mayra Ramirez.And the forward enjoys being a role model for younger Blues players as well as contending with the pressure of winning trophies and retaining titles.Reiten (pictured with Mayra Ramirez) is eager to see Chelsea maintain their winning form across all competitions with the team reaching the Champions League semi-finalsCredit: EPAShe said: “It’s weird because I feel like it’s just become a part of me.

      ‘I have too much respect for teams across Europe to talk negatively about them’, says Emma Hayes

      by

      EMMA HAYES believes it is arrogant to suggest Europe’s best teams are not reaching the Women’s Champions League group stages. However the Chelsea boss believes the qualifying route needs to be looked at in terms of a possible group phase expansion and Europa league.

      Manchester United chief Marc Skinner believes there is scope for a “broader scale of teams” in the contestCredit: Getty
      Hayes was sharing her thoughts amid recent debate concerning the qualifying process to enter the tournament’s group stage. 
      Her comments’ follow remarks made by Manchester United boss Marc Skinner after his side were knocked out in round two of the qualifying phase by Paris Saint-Germain. 
      On Wednesday after the game, the Red Devils chief said it was “crazy” his team had to face PSG in the qualifiers. 
      He also talked of wanting to see “the best teams in the Champions League” group stage rather than a “spread of average” sides. 
      Read More Football Stories
      However the Man United later apologised for” any offence taken” in response to his comment while calling for “a broader scale of teams” in the competition.
      Skinner said: “It’s easy to twist words, but if there was any offence taken then I am sorry for that. 
      “My comment was much more about the breadth and quality.
      “I believe now that there is a need for more teams to be in this competition and then we will see who is average and who is not. 
      Most read in Football
      “We might have been average in the group stage, we don’t know that? But we played a good team (in PSG).”
      In terms of English clubs in this season’s contest only the current WSL title-holders (Chelsea) were guaranteed automatic entry to the group stage. 
      Meanwhile United who finished second last season and Arsenal who finished third had to compete in qualifiers prior to this phase.  
      Hayes said: “I don’t want to talk disrespectfully about any team in Europe, particularly knowing that we are a team that have lost to many teams in early rounds in our infancy as much as going out of a group stage two years ago. 
      “I have way too much respect for the competition and teams across Europe to talk negatively about any of them.
      “I think that’s ignorant and arrogant all at once. 
      “Roma and Benfica are two teams who won their leagues.
      “They deserve perhaps to go straight into a group competition. 
      “But this isn’t about my opinion, this is what the format is and we have to play that.
      “However, do we need to look at that? Absolutely we need to.
      “Do we need to look at that in line with the growth of the women’s game to say, ‘well, actually, there’s a lot more investment across many leagues?
      “And perhaps (whether) we should consider a format that’s similar to that of the men’s competition, where it’s group stages from the off but maybe larger?
      “But also we have to look at the smaller nations – they deserve the opportunity and the right to be in it as much as any English team does.”
      The Blues, who face Brighton at home in the WSL on Sunday, were among 16 teams involved in Friday’s group stage draw for the contest
      They have been drawn in Group D alongside Real Madrid, BK Hacken and giant killers Paris FC who knocked out Arsenal and this year’s finalists Wolfsburg. 
      Following the Gunners and United’s exits, Hayes side are the only English team left in this season’s tournament. 
      The Blues gaffer added:  “We’ve been in the Champions League a long time to know that this is a really tough competition and we’ve got a lot to prepare for.

      “(BK) Hacken is a top team performing really well and Paris FC have deservedly progressed into the group stage.

      Bronze hails Barcelona’s ‘crazy feat’ as Guijarro shines in their Women’s Champions League final win against Wolfsburg

      by

      LUCY BRONZE never doubted Barcelona could pull off a second-half fightback to stun Wolfsburg in the Women’s Champions League final.After a first-half fright they stormed to a 3-2 victory with the full-back lifting the contest trophy for a fourth time.

      Patri Guijarro shone bagging a two-minute double with Barcelona thwarting Wolfsburg’s hopes of a hat-trick of final wins in the competition.
      Their triumph led to Bronze becoming the first Englishwoman to lift the trophy with two different clubs following three previous victories with her former club Lyon. 
      It also saw Keira Walsh win her first Champions League medal following her transfer record-breaking switch from Manchester City last September.   
      Bronze said: “I don’t think we were ever worried about us scoring three goals, which is a crazy feat to do.

      “But that’s the talent of this team. 
      “You’ve seen the two finals Barcelona have lost where they’ve been heavily beaten by Lyon.
      “Once it was two goals (down against us) we shut up shop. 
      “We made it really difficult defensively and created loads of chances in attack.”

      Walsh added: “If there’s any team that can overturn a 2-0 deficit it’s this team and that’s what we did.
      “Patri Guijarro is a special, special player, for me the best player in the world.
      “It’s been a pretty good year, winning the Euros and the Champions League.
      “If someone was to tell me this was going to happen I wouldn’t believe them.”
      Coming into this game, Jonatan Giraldez’s team were considered the favourites having reached last year’s final brushing Wolfsburg aside in the semis. 
      But they suffered a scare in the third minute with Bronze, back in action following knee surgery in April, dispossessed by Ewa Pajor. 
      Seconds later the striker slammed the ball past goalkeeper Sandra Panos with Barcelona conceding a third minute goal – their earliest ever in the contest. 
      Ewa Pajor and Alexandra Popp both netted minutes to give Wolfsburg a 2-0 lead by the 37th minuteCredit: AP
      Stunned by that moment the Liga F champs looked to hit back immediately with Salma Paralluelo blazing over before Irena Paredes headed wide.  
      After weathering pressure, with Lena Oberdorf making some brave blocks, Wolfsburg made some rare forays forward.
      And they went 2-0 up against the run of play with Pajor teeing up Alexandra Popp’s headed finish near half time. 
      The second spell saw Barcelona turn the game on its head with Guijarro’s two-minute brace. 
      The midfielder fired home at the near post two minutes before heading in a 50th minute effort leaving their rivals shocked.
      Fridolina Rolfo rifled a shot at Wolfsburg goalkeeper Merle Frohms moments later, with Pajor testing Panos in the 70th minute. 

      And Wolfsburg’s dream start became a nightmare finish as Rolfo punished a defensive error to slam home a tournament-winning goal.
      Her finish saw the LaLiga Women’s champs title holders become the queens of club football in Europe for the second time.
