Chelsea has entered the Women’s Super League (WSL) season with remarkable form, having won their first two matches, scoring eight goals while maintaining a clean sheet. Their latest triumph saw them overpower Crystal Palace with a 7-0 victory, held at Selhurst Park, where six different players contributed to the scoreline.

The Blues boast a five-game winning streak in the WSL, extending back to last season’s victories over Bristol City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United. In parallel, Real Madrid has had an equally strong start to their league campaign, clinching victory in each of their first five matches.

The history between Chelsea and Real Madrid in the Women’s Champions League is well established, with the clubs having faced each other in each of the last two seasons. Chelsea previously secured two draws and two wins over Real Madrid, reflecting a positive record against the Spanish side.
