Chelsea’s road to the treble: Who they need to beat and when

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

Despite the Champions League continuing to elude them, Chelsea remain on track for a treble-winning season.

Chelsea were soundly beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final on Sunday, losing 8-2 on aggregate to end their hopes of lifting four trophies, but manager Sonia Bompastor — the only person in the women’s game to have won the Champions League as both a player and manager — remains on track for a remarkable campaign in her first season in charge.

Six points clear of second-placed Arsenal at the top of the Women’s Super League (WSL) with three fixtures remaining, Chelsea are within touching distance of securing a sixth successive league triumph.

Four years after Emma Hayes, now the manager of the United States women’s national team, achieved the domestic treble with Chelsea, we look at how and when Bompastor’s side could collect the two trophies they still need this season to complete a memorable hat-trick.

The road to the treble

March 15: League Cup secured

Bompastor secured her first title, defeating Manchester City 2-1 in the League Cup final. It was the first of four meetings in a row between the two sides, with Chelsea coming out on top in three of the four occasions, including a 3-2 aggregate victory against City in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Asked whether Chelsea’s players would celebrate the win, Bompastor said: “No, they can just go out until 9pm — 9:30pm, in bed.” Perhaps perfectly illustrating the dedication Chelsea have shown to be so successful domestically this season.

April 30: Manchester United vs Chelsea (WSL)

If Arsenal drop points against second-bottom Aston Villa in their game earlier in the day (it’s a 6pm kick-off at Villa Park, 1pm ET), Chelsea can claim the WSL title with a victory against Manchester United in the 8.15pm/3.15pm kick-off.

United are third, seven points ahead of neighbours Manchester City and vying for the final Champions League spot. In November, Chelsea inflicted a 1-0 loss on United, one of only two league defeats for Mark Skinner’s side this season. Chelsea remain unbeaten in the WSL and will be the favorites on Wednesday — they have never lost to United in the league.

The match might offer some insight into how the FA Cup final, which follows 18 days later, will play out.

May 4: Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea (WSL)

If Arsenal and Chelsea have the same results in their Wednesday fixtures, Chelsea would be crowned champions if they beat Spurs on Sunday.

Tottenham are without a league win since January 26, when they beat relegated Crystal Palace 3-2.

They haven’t won a point against Chelsea in 10 WSL meetings, losing all of those league games. The most recent loss came at Kingsmeadow in October 2024, with Chelsea comfortably winning 5-2.

May 11: Chelsea vs Liverpool (WSL)

In their final game of the season, if all goes to plan, Chelsea should be welcomed home as WSL champions and, by this stage, their result against Liverpool shouldn’t matter much.

Liverpool are one of the few sides to have beaten Chelsea in the WSL on several occasions, including a 4-3 victory in May.

In recent months, Liverpool interim head coach Amber Whiteley has guided her side to wins over the other two teams in the top three — Arsenal (in the FA Cup quarter-final) and Manchester United — showing they can raise their level against the best teams.

May 18: Chelsea vs Manchester United (FA Cup)

Chelsea will head to Wembley having beaten Charlton Athletic, Everton, Crystal Palace and Liverpool on the way to the final.

Manchester United are looking to retain the cup, which they won for the first time last year, defeating Tottenham 4-0 in the final.

Arsenal have won the FA Cup the most times (14), while Chelsea are looking to win their sixth, last winning in 2023.
