UEFA Women's Champions League: Chelsea Stages Stunning Comeback to Sink Man City

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea overturned a two-goal deficit from the first leg against Manchester City with a commanding 3-0 victory to set up a thrilling semifinal clash with Barcelona and the reigning champions. Sandy Baltimore sparked the comeback in the 14th minute, reacting quickest to a rebound and firing home. Chelsea’s pressure intensified, and Nathalie Bjorn’s towering header in the 38th leveled the tie on aggregate. Five minutes later, Mayra Ramirez latched onto a perfect setup from Lauren James to slot the ball past City’s Khiara Keating, sealing a 3-2 aggregate triumph for the Blues.
