Chelsea vs Real Madrid LIVE: Women’s Champions League result and final score from Stamford 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.

Chelsea hold on for a nervy final 10 minutes to see off Real Madrid in the Champions League for a third year in a row.

After goals from Guro Reiten and Sjoeke Nusken gave the Blues a 2-1 advantage going into the break, Mayra Ramirez bagged her first goal in a Chelsea shirt to give the hosts a commanding lead for much of the second period.

Linda Caicedo got one back with seven minutes of normal time to play, ensuring a nail-biting end to what had largely been an assured outing for Chelsea.

However, Sonia Bompastor’s side were able to see out the result, kicking off their Champions League campaign in winning fashion.

90+4 mins: Chelsea with everyone back behind the ball.

Angeldahl gets in space down the left but is forced to play it backwards, and in trying to find Caicedo, Carmona overhits her pass and puts it out for a goal kick.

That could be it.

90+2 mins: Beever-Jones intercepts in the middle of the park to earn a rowdy cheer from the crowd.

However, they’ve gifted possession back to the visitors, giving them scope for maybe one more opportunity.

90 mins: Rush of blood from substitute Hernandez, who wastes a set-play opportunity by going for the spectacular from 40 yards out.

Four added minutes for Chelsea to hold on.

88 mins: Chelsea had this game in cruise control, but it’s going to be nail-biting few minutes as they look to make it three wins in three seasons against Real Madrid.

They’ve got a free-kick which acts as a moment of respite, allowing both teams to make some changes.

James off for Mpome for Chelsea, Weir and Garcia off for Moller and Hernandez for Real Madrid.

86 mins: Real Madrid are searching for an equaliser and are piling pressure on the Chelsea goal.

A free-kick from the left finds the head of a woman in orange, but luckily for Musovic, this effort is straight down the throat.

83 mins: GOAL! Well, well, well.

Real Madrid have one back with seven minutes to go, and things have got a lot more tense inside the Bridge.

An error from Bright in the tackle allows the ball to be slipped through to Weir, whose effort beats Musovic but is cleared off the line by Bronze - only for the rebound to fall right into the path of Caicedo, who taps in.

This one is not over the line just yet.

81 mins: Bronze holds off the pressure of Caicedo, who was chasing down a cross that was hit too deep.

She does well to win a goal kick for the hosts.

79 mins: Bjorn makes a foray forward from centre-half and tries to play in Beever-Jones, but her through pass trickles out for a goal kick.
