Tue Dec 17 16:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Chelsea Aim for Champions League Victory Against Real Madrid in Season Finale

**Madrid, Spain** – Chelsea Women will face Real Madrid in the final group stage match of the UEFA Women’s Champions League on Tuesday, December 17th, at 5:45 PM GMT (12:45 PM ET) at the Estádio Alfredo Di Stéfano. A draw will secure top spot for the Blues, but following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Leicester City, manager Sonia Bompastor is pushing for a victory to end the year on a high note.

Despite Chelsea’s recent setback, Real Madrid are not without their vulnerabilities. Their only losses this season came against Chelsea (4-0) and Barcelona (4-0). While Real Madrid manager Alberto Toril boasts a largely fit squad, Maelle Lakrar remains sidelined through injury. Chelsea, however, faces a significant injury crisis, with Johanna Rytting Kaneryd joining a growing list of absentees. The positive news is the return of Sandy Baltimore from injury.

The match promises a compelling encounter. The previous meeting between the two teams saw Chelsea emerge victorious with a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge, a thrilling match that saw Real Madrid mount a late comeback attempt. This time, the setting shifts to Madrid, adding another layer of intensity to the contest. The match will be broadcast on DAZN (UK and USA) and available via YouTube internationally.
