Chelsea swept past Paris FC to finish undefeated at the end of the Champions League group stage, having already secured passage to the quarter-finals. Goals from Fran Kirby, Mia Fishel, Guro Reiten and Maren Mjelde, with two assists by Jelena Cankovic, secured a 4-0 win and confirmed the home team exit the competition.
“It showed a maturity, we were clinical, we had six chances, four goals,” Emma Hayes, the Chelsea manager, said of the performance. “There were young players who’ve not had a lot of minutes in the Champions League and it just shows you what quality we’ve got in our squad to be able to put in a performance like that.”
