'Always been my dream' - Lucy Bronze reveals her one ambition after joining Chelsea from Barcelona as Lioness prepares for return to WSL action

Bronze made the sensational move to Chelsea this summer after spending two years with Barcelona, helping them win back-to-back Women's Champions League and Liga F titles. The left-back, who played with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Everton earlier in her career, has revealed why she decided to move to the Blues on her return to the WSL.

When asked why she decided to move to Chelsea, Bronze said: “I was ready to do something else.

"I had in my mind that I needed to come back to England one more time. I think winning the Champions League with an English team has always been my dream.

"I won the Champions League for the first time at Lyon, but nothing would ever be as good as doing it with an English team. That’s something that I felt playing for England as well, winning a tournament with England means more to me than anything else.

"I’m not at the start of my career so I had to make smart moves to try to accomplish these dreams that I have. So coming to Chelsea, I want to win the Champions League with an English team and Chelsea are the best team to do that with."

Bronze has won the Champions League five times but has never done so with an English club. Bronze has won the last two editions of the Women's Champions League and is now looking to help Chelsea win the title that has long evaded them despite their domestic dominance in England.

The Lionesses star will likely be a starter for Sonia Bompastor's side when Chelsea begin their WSL campaign with a visit to Aston Villa on Friday, September 20 as the Blues look to defend their title.
