Preamble

“I don’t spend my time thinking about revenge. I look at life as lessons and learnings.”

The Chelsea manager, Emma Hayes, has said she is not aiming for retribution this evening following her team’s Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Lyon in 2019. A week is a long time in football, let alone four years, so it’s easy to believe what Hayes says. Chelsea have come a long way since then, too, and have grown into a team with the kind of status and ability that has seen them lose just one match in all competitions this term.

Lyon are the defending champions but their progress to this stage of the competition has been somewhat less serene: it wasn’t so long ago they suffered a 5-1 defeat by Arsenal in the group stage. But the show is very much back on the road now and the last time they failed to win a match, in fact, was the stalemate against Juventus at the end of that group stage in December. So both teams are in fine form.

Unstoppable force v immovable object? This could very well be a cracker.

Kick-off: 5.45pm
