On March 15, 2025, Chelsea’s women’s team secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Women’s League Cup final at Derby’s Pride Park. The match was decided by an own goal from City’s Yui Hasegawa, who inadvertently diverted a cross into her own net, giving Chelsea the win.
Chelsea’s manager, Sonia Bompastor, expressed her satisfaction with the triumph, noting it as her first trophy with the team. However, both Bompastor and City’s interim manager, Nick Cushing, criticized the quality of the Pride Park pitch, suggesting it was substandard for a final.
Looking ahead, the two teams are set to face each other again in the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals, with the first leg scheduled for March 19, 2025. Cushing remains optimistic, stating he believes Manchester City can overcome Chelsea in their upcoming European encounters.
