The Blues have a 2-0 deficit ahead of the quarter-final return leg clash with fellow English side Manchester City.

“As a club, we’re always aware of the trophies we haven’t won, but the most important thing is to look at what we have won,” she said.

“This is our opportunity to bounce back and really show as a team our mentality and the qualities we have.

“It’s always the aim to win everything, it’s part of who we are, it’s part of our ambition.

“It’s part of your goals when you become a Chelsea player. That’s your ambition; you ask any individual within our squad, and they’ll give you the same answer.

“That burning desire to win this competition…it’s the Champions League. Everyone knows how special the Champions League is. It’s an incredible honor to win it as a player, and Sonia has done it as both, so it’s everyone’s dream to do that.”

Thursday will see Chelsea face Nick Cushing’s side for the fourth time in just 12 days.
