The result leaves Chelsea sitting third in the league phase table after four matches, trailing defending champions Barcelona by one point.

With multiple teams capable of leapfrogging Chelsea this matchday, the pressure intensifies for the Blues to secure a victory in their upcoming fixtures to maintain their position near the top of the table.
Manager Sonia Bompastor acknowledged the disappointment of the outcome, stating, “It’s a frustrating result… We came here with the ambition of winning the game… But tonight it didn’t go that way.
