Blues impressively conclude the group stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League with a four-goal victory.

Chelsea FC Women celebrated in style after defeating Paris FC in their final UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage match. The rotated Chelsea side put on a clinical display, winning 4-0 away from home.

Emma Hayes’ team had already secured their place in the knockout stages as group winners before the match began. Paris FC needed a victory and other results to go their way in order to progress. However, Chelsea’s squad options delivered a highly professional performance, taking the lead through Fran Kirby’s header after just 12 minutes.

Despite Paris FC creating dangerous moves in the first half, they were unable to find the back of the net. Mia Fishel extended Chelsea’s lead with a well-placed header, giving the visitors a 2-0 advantage at halftime.

In the second half, Paris FC fought hard to find a way back into the game, but their finishing let them down. Chelsea’s clinical performance was sealed with goals from Guro Reiten and Maren Mjelde, securing a 4-0 victory.

This dominant display from Chelsea is particularly impressive considering the success Paris FC had in the Champions League so far. Knocking out Arsenal and last year’s finalists Wolfsburg in the qualifiers, Paris FC kept their qualification hopes alive until the final matchday. However, Chelsea’s comfortable win showcased their strength and depth.

Kadeisha Buchanan was named the Player of the Match for her outstanding performance in defense. The Canadian center-back was a key figure in Chelsea’s backline, making crucial blocks and interceptions to keep the home attack at bay.

Looking ahead, winning Group D means that Chelsea should avoid facing major threats in the next round. The draw for the next stage will take place on February 6.

In terms of statistics, Paris FC produced more than double the number of shots compared to Chelsea throughout the game. However, it was Chelsea’s clinical finishing that made all the difference in securing the victory.
