Chelsea will begin their Women's Champions League group stage with a game against Real Madrid at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium on Wednesday.
Chelsea lost to eventual champions Barcelona in the semis last season and will be hoping to go further this time around. They are unbeaten since their first leg defeat to the Spanish side in April 2023 and will be supremely confident of three points to kick off their new campaign.
Real Madrid were in the same group as Chelsea last season but finished third. They are in good form as well heading into the game, having won nine out of their 10 matches this season so far.
