Chelsea Women Dominate Roma with Emphatic 6-0 Champions League Victory

Chelsea Bounce Back in Style

Chelsea Women delivered a commanding performance on 10 December 2025, thrashing Roma 6-0 at Stamford Bridge in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. The victory was crucial for Sonia Bompastor’s side, who needed to keep their qualification fate in their own hands after dropping points against Twente and Barcelona, whilst also serving as a perfect response to their shock defeat to Everton just days earlier.

Six Different Scorers Seal Dominant Win

The Blues got off to a perfect start when Roma defender Valentina Bergamaschi scored an own goal in the 13th minute, before Wieke Kaptein (26′), Johanna Rytting Kaneryd (44′), Sjoeke Nüsken (51′ penalty), Maika Hamano (76′), and Lucy Bronze (86′) all found the net. The emphatic victory featured six different scorers, demonstrating Chelsea’s attacking depth.

Significance for European Qualification

The thrashing puts Chelsea third in the Women’s Champions League table, with the Blues knowing that a victory in their final group game against Wolfsburg will secure automatic qualification for the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Roma’s defeat confirmed their elimination from the competition after managing just one point from their opening four matches.

What This Means for Fans

This comprehensive victory highlights Chelsea Women’s resilience and championship pedigree. After suffering their first defeat of the season against Everton, the team responded emphatically to keep their Champions League dreams alive. With one match remaining in the league phase, Chelsea are firmly in control of their destiny. For Roma, the result marks the end of a challenging European campaign, though they can focus on domestic competitions. The match showcased the growing competitiveness of women’s football at the highest level and the importance of depth in squad selection for success in multiple competitions.
