FC Bayern Munchen Frauen vs Chelsea Ladies (UWCL Round of 32, 2nd leg) Wed 11th Oct 2017 KO 17:00 GMT (6:00pm UK time)

[OhForAGreavsie]

Thanks to a combination of great goalkeeping by Viggy Lindahl and bad finishing from Bayern, our ladies lead 1-0 from the first leg of this UEFA Women’s Champions League knockout tie. The Bavarians remain favourites to progress however. They will feel confident that they can create chances again and convert them this time. We will probably need at least one away goal if we are to hold on.

That is not impossible however. We have a good team and strength in depth. This is the third straight season our women have faced German opposition in this Competition but this is the first time we go into the second leg with our heads still above water in the tie.

Coverage is available on Chelsea TV, Chelsea TV Online and Chelsea’s YouTube channel.

Good luck girls.

Well, we’re through. We lost 2-1 on the night but advance on the away goal. That isn’t half the story though. So much drama and incident. Injuries, own goal, missed sitters, disallowed goal, bad decisions and six minutes of added time!

At one point I had no idea how many players we had on the pitch. We made three injury related substitutions but still the knocks kept coming. We were down to 10 when they got their first and we had 9 or 10, I’m really not sure, when they got their second.

Phew I said elsewhere and that really is the word. 

Draw for the next round is on Monday. There are at least three sides left in who are better than Bayern, and who we could do with avoiding.

First time I’ve watched the ladies team, what a great match, had everything.
