Chelsea opened their Women’s Champions League campaign with a 3-2 win over Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid pulled one back before half time through Alba Redondo but Mayra Ramirez’s header restored Cheslea’s advantage after the break.

Linda Caicedo came off the bench to pull another back for the visitors, but Chelsea held on to claim their third home victory in a row over Real Madrid.

Linda Caicedo, remember the name

There weren’t a lot of positives for Real Madrid to take away from their third defeat to Chelsea in as many seasons.

But on the brighter side, 19-year-old Colombian star Linda Caicedo looks like one for the future. They’ve got a serious talent in their ranks.

Real Madrid can’t catch a break at the Bridge

Real Madrid went into this game with five wins from five in the league, 18 wins in the last 20 in all competitions. They looked primed to end their winless run against Chelsea.

However, it was business as usual for the Blues as they made it three wins in as many seasons against Las Blancas.

Sonia Bompastor is here to do what Emma Hayes couldn’t and bring home a Women’s Champions League. She’s off to a good start.
