Having eliminated the team ranked 6th in European women's football, FC Bayern Munchen Frauen, Chelsea Ladies now take it up a notch to face Sweden's FC Rosengård Dam over two legs in the last 16 of the Women's Champions League. The Swedes are the 3rd ranked women's team in Europe, so represent a mighty challenge for our women. That said, our squad has quality and strength in depth. This game will be tough, but as manager Emma Hayes says, "I'm sure once we get in front of our own fans we've got all the ability to produce a fantastic European performance again."

Chelsea Ladies home games are played at Kingstonian Stadium, 422A Kingston Road, Kingston Upon Thames KT1 3PB

Tickets are £6 adults, £3 juniors/seniors and will be available from the Kingstonian stadium box office on the night. If you can get down there to support the ladies you'll enjoy the quality of football on display.

For those who can't make it, the match is live on Chelsea TV and Chelsea'a YouTube channel

Halftime at Kingsmeadow. We deservedly lead at the break. Fran Kirby’s excellent run and finish is the only goal so far but we’ve created all the chances and probably deserve more.

Full time: Chelsea 3-0 Rosengård

Rosengård started as strongly in the second half as we had done in the first. Our keeper, Vigy Lindahl, made three great stops. There were last ditch blocks, goal line clearances and missed chances as it looked for 15 minutes like the visitors must score. We rode out the storm however and gradually played played our way back into the game.

Although we never quite re-established the complete dominance we had shown in the first half, the ladies did more than enough to merit the three goal margin.

The second leg is next Wednesday, 15/11/2017.
