Chelsea will go to Barcelona with hope, Arsenal’s mentality is changing, City are flying and the relegation battle is hotting up
Chelsea down but not out in Europein the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-final against Barcelona but afterwards they were relatively buoyant. Playing against the possession-heavy and quick-moving Catalans is one of the trickiest tests in football. “You have to be in the tie. We’re in the tie,” said the Chelsea manager, Emma Hayes. She is right but Barcelona walked away the more content side.
The mental strength it takes to come back after conceding to big sides is somewhat new to Arsenal but the manager, Jonas Eidevall, said: “Either you are always just connected to the result or you see a challenge as an opportunity to learn and to grow. And if you look at it that way and stay process-oriented and always try to find the details, it is all down to the players and their mentality that they keep finding that way.
