Chelsea manager Emma Hayes on the mood in the squad following their Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona on Saturday: “We have moved on, we had a day off. We have discussed our objectives, and now focus on this game.

“After any loss the worst thing you can have is a long period of time off. We have a small chance of winning the league, we have to focus on doing that.”

Just a small chance of winning the league? “We are not in the driving seat, we don’t have the goal difference, we have to catch up.

On Manchester City winning twice since Chelsea’s last league game to take a six point lead in the WSL: “We always knew we would be playing catch up.”
