Chelsea will be hoping to reach a first UEFA Women’s Champions League final by overturning a 2-1 deficit in the second leg of their UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final tie against Bayern Munich on Sunday.
Sydney Lohmann and Hanna Glas got the goals for the Germans as they put down a marker against Emma Hayes’ Blues.
Ahead of the second leg at Kingsmeadow, FA Women’s Super League Full-Time have been reviewing the facts and figures as we summarise Chelsea v Bayern Munich ‘in numbers’.
29 – Chelsea forward Pernille Harder is searching for her 30th UEFA Women’s Champions League goal. She has managed 29 so far with three of those strikes coming for the South West Londoners.
50 – Veteran Bayern Munich midfielder Simone Laudehr is the most experienced player in the two squads when it comes to UEFA Women’s Champions League football. She has made 50 appearances in the competition throughout her long career.
3 – Match referee Esther Staubli has taken charge of Chelsea in Europe on three previous occasions. She last oversaw a Chelsea fixture as they won 5-0 against Benfica in Portugal in the round of 32 in December.
7 – Chelsea have lost seven of their 11 games against German opponents in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
12 – Bayern Munich midfielder Sarah Zadrazil has committed 12 fouls in this season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League, more than any other player.
56 – Hanna Glas’ 56th-minute goal proved to be the winner in the first leg in Munich last Sunday. Melanie Leupolz’s strike had initially cancelled out Sydney Lohmann’s effort.
30 – Chelsea manager Emma Hayes will take charge of the Blues for the 30th time in European competition on Sunday.
5 – Just five of Chelsea’s 17 UEFA Women’s Champions League goals scored this season have come at Kingsmeadow.
Chelsea’s UEFA Women’s Champions League semi-final second leg tie against Bayern Munich is scheduled to kick-off at 12.30pm on Sunday and will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1.
