Chelsea began their Women's Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Twente, despite dominating the match. Coach Sonia Bompastor made seven changes to the lineup following a draw with Manchester United, but the team couldn't secure a win despite numerous chances in Enschede. Twente took the lead with a goal from Danique van Ginkel after an hour, but Chelsea equalized through a penalty by Sandy Baltimore. Chelsea missed an early opportunity to lead, and Twente's goalkeeper, Diede Lemey, made several crucial saves. Bompastor expressed dissatisfaction with the result, emphasizing the need for more aggression and better utilization of chances.
