Bompastor expressed excitement for Chelsea's next game against Manchester City, stating that it will be a wonderful match.

Chelsea's head coach, Sonia Bompastor, says her team is excited to play Barclays Women's Super League title rivals Manchester City this weekend.

On Saturday evening, the Blues will host The Citizens at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Bompastor stressed the importance of the game during the pre-match news conference, adding that her team is excited to put themselves to the test against Manchester City.

"It's obviously an important game against a very good team," Bompastor explained. "There will be two fantastic teams with a nice dynamic and good outcomes, so we are looking forward to it and are really excited.

"My role as a manager is to ensure that the players have the appropriate game plan for tomorrow. We practiced this morning, and I believe everything is crystal clear in each player's head. We feel prepared, even if we anticipate a difficult game. Manchester City is doing well and has excellent players, but it will be a wonderful game for everyone, particularly the fans."


Bompastor refused to compare last season's Manchester City club to this year's, although she did agree that the Citizens, like Chelsea, are in a good spot right now.

.She stated, "Last season, they came close to winning the crown; they only lost on goal difference, which demonstrates their quality. They've begun the season off strong and have a great dynamic. They are a squad that is in a good spot with us right now, and it will be a terrific game to play."

Chelsea will play a league game at Stamford Bridge for the first time this season, and Bompastor believes the team is excited to be back at their customary home.

She stated, "It's really good." We always want to play at large stadiums with a nice atmosphere. It was the case in the Celtic game when they played away.

"We are delighted to be back at Stamford Bridge. We have a lot of history in that stadium; the players enjoy playing there, and having the support of the fans would be beneficial."

Chelsea's Barclays Women's Super League match vs Manchester City begins at 5.30pm on Saturday evening. Tickets are still on sale and may be purchased by clicking here.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
