Chelsea players consoled each other after the final whistleChelsea boss Emma Hayes said her players told the club's owner Roman Abramovich that they "will be back" in the Women's Champions League final, after their heavy defeat by Barcelona. Abramovich flew to Gothenburg to be at the game and came to see the players in the dressing room after the match. The Women's Super League winners had been chasing a quadruple but could finish the campaign with a domestic treble if they win the FA Cup, having also already lifted the League Cup. And she urged her side to follow the example of their opponents, who became the first Spanish side to win the Women's Champions League two years after a 4-1 defeat by Lyon in the final. However, Christiansen believes Hayes' side can take heart from Barcelona's development since their final setback and go one better.
