In a commanding display at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, Chelsea FC Women secured a 4-0 victory over Paris FC in their UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage match. This results extends Chelsea’s dominance over French opponents in this competition and provides a crucial boost for the Blues’ campaign after a shaky start in Europe.

The match kicked off under the lights at Stamford Bridge in London, with both teams seeking to build on their opening draws in the group phase. Chelsea started under pressure to convert their recent good possession and chances into goals, following a 1-1 draw versus FC Twente in their Champions League opener. Paris FC, meanwhile, remained a tough opponent with a point from their opening game and a desire to spoil Chelsea’s home advantage.

Chelsea quickly took control through a penalty awarded when Sjoeke Nüsken was fouled in the box. The penalty was confidently converted by Sandy Baltimore in the 31st minute, reflecting Chelsea’s determination to “kill the hope” of Paris FC, as Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor urged the side before the match. Baltimore’s strike marked the breakthrough for the home team and turned the momentum firmly in Chelsea’s favor.

Less than ten minutes later, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd doubled the lead with a well-placed finish following a precise cross from winger Alyssa Thompson. Paris FC tried to respond, notably with forward Clara Matéo, but Chelsea’s defense, led by coach Bompastor’s tactical setup, stood firm blocking key shots.

Chelsea nearly extended their advantage to 3-0 just before halftime when Aggie Beever-Jones delivered a threatening header that rattled the crossbar. In the second half, Alyssa Thompson ensured the lead became unassailable by adding a third goal shortly after play resumed. Further strengthening their position, Sam Kerr came on as a substitute and was instrumental in Chelsea’s final goal, which was set up by Erin Cuthbert, culminating in a clinical finish by Kerr herself.

Coach Sonia Bompastor praised her team’s effort, acknowledging the previous scoring difficulties but emphasizing their ability to “create a lot of chances” and maintain composure to finish the game strongly. She said, “We needed a performance like this to regain confidence in front of goal. The team showed resilience and quality to execute our game plan perfectly.”

This win underlines Chelsea’s strong record against French opposition; they have now won five of six recent matches against clubs from France, with their only defeat in that time coming against Olympique Lyonnais. Paris FC’s struggles against English clubs persist, leaving them without a win in six attempts.

The impact of this victory is significant for Chelsea, who sit comfortably in their Champions League group with momentum going into their next fixtures. For the fans at Stamford Bridge and supporters worldwide, the emphatic win confirms Chelsea’s status as contenders for European glory this season.

Looking ahead, Chelsea will aim to maintain their form as they prepare for upcoming challenges in both domestic and continental competitions, while Paris FC will need to regroup and strategize for upcoming matches to salvage their campaign.
