Lucy Bronze’s Lyon play Chelsea in a Champions League semi-final on Sunday but the full-back, who could win four trophies, is already preparing for her summer with England
Lucy Bronze sent a message to her Lyon teammates last weekend: “If you want to watch Chelsea, it’s on BBC One.” If they found a way to watch they will have seen a dominant Chelsea side fall on their own sword late on as Magda Eriksson’s injury-time own goal put Manchester City, Bronze’s former club, into the FA Cup final. With that loss last season’s double winners missed out on their last chance of a domestic trophy.
Chelsea now have one chance of making the Champions League next season, by winning it. But first they have a semi-final against the five-times winners, and holders, Lyon, with the first leg on Sunday. Bronze, believes a wounded Blues side is one to be wary of. “They’ve got one focus now and that is these two games,” says the England defender.
