Bompastor tells Chelsea players to refocus after frustrating Hacken draw

Sonia Bompastor has warned her Chelsea players they must refocus quickly following their goalless draw with Hacken, ahead of a huge clash with Manchester City.

Just as they did against Everton in their last Women's Super League game, the Blues dominated without reward against their Swedish opponents in the Champions League.

Chelsea fired off 32 shots on Tuesday but only hit the target with six of those attempts, which had a total expected goals (xG) value of 2.16.

Those 32 shots are the second-most on record by a team when being shut out in a Women's Champions League match, after Wolfsburg had 35 versus Slavia Prague in December 2022.

Chelsea also had 66 touches inside Hacken's box, compared to the hosts tallying eight in the opposite area, though they could have lost the game if not for a big save by Livia Peng late on.

And things do not get much easier for Bompastor's side, either, as they face the WSL's reigning champions and current leaders on Saturday, knowing a defeat would leave them five points off the summit.

Speaking to Chelsea's website after Tuesday's game, Bompastor said: "Tonight's performance was good in terms of the defensive aspects. 

"We knew what they wanted to do against us: they wanted to use the transition to hurt us behind the backline, and the defenders dealt really well with those situations.

"We were dominant with the ball for most of the game, we created a lot of opportunities, but tonight we couldn't score the goal to win the game. 

"It's a frustrating result. We came here with the ambition to win. We also hit the crossbar and their goalkeeper made some great saves. 

"Sometimes it happens in football, and you need to take the learnings and move on. We have enough quality in the squad to achieve that, but tonight, it just didn't go our way.

"We have a quick turnaround with a big game at the weekend, so we need to refocus and move on from this one."

Only three of Chelsea's last 185 matches across all competitions have finished goalless, with two of those (versus Hacken and Lyon) coming in their last eight.

The other was also against Hacken in the Champions League, in December 2023.
