Chelsea Women, led by Denise Reddy, are back in the Champions League as they play their first game at Kingsmeadow since a 3-1 victory against West Ham United at the end of September. This time, Real Madrid’s two-goal defeat to KS Vllaznia’s nine-time Albanian champions, who held the Spanish powerhouse scoreless until the 54th minute, will be the opponent.
The Blues have been on fire since the international break and haven’t stopped, despite Emma Hayes still being at home recovering. Reddy was able to rotate several of CFC’s stars in Chelsea’s rain-soaked match against Brighton on the road, keeping them fresh for matches like this throughout the middle of the week and harder competition up ahead in the season.
