Chelsea Football Club has publicly condemned the homophobic abuse directed at striker Sam Kerr following the announcement that she and her partner, West Ham's Kristie Mewis, are expecting a baby. The club's captain, Millie Bright, along with manager Sonia Bompastor, expressed their strong disapproval of the "unacceptable and hateful" messages that emerged after the couple shared photos showcasing Mewis's baby bump. In response to the backlash, Chelsea issued a statement highlighting the need for respect and support, emphasizing that such negativity should not be tolerated. The comments section on Kerr's post had to be disabled due to the offensive remarks. Bompastor described the reactions as "crazy," reinforcing the club's commitment to standing against discrimination and promoting a positive environment for all players.

Chelsea's Mayra Ramírez: "We are in a state of constant change. I love it; that’s how you improve." The Colombian forward has been making waves in the Women’s Super League (WSL) with her impressive ability to dismantle opposing defenses. Watching her play is a spectacle, as she effortlessly navigates past even the most seasoned defenders with a combination of skillful turns, subtle shrugs, precise touches, and clever flicks. In a pivotal moment during Chelsea's match against Arsenal in October, Ramírez scored a crucial goal just four minutes into the game, contributing to a 2-1 defeat for the hosts and marking the end of Jonas Eidevall's time as manager. Positioned with her back to the goal, she took advantage of a defensive lapse, skillfully hooking the ball over her head and past goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar. Ramírez has embraced the challenges of settling in London, quickly picking up English and thriving in the competitive atmosphere of the WSL. She relishes the constant evolution of the league, believing that such changes are essential for personal and team growth.

Chelsea kicked off their Women's Champions League campaign with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid, marking a successful start under new manager Sonia Bompastor at Stamford Bridge. The Blues showcased their attacking prowess with goals from Sjoeke Nüsken, Guro Reiten, and Mayra Ramirez, securing their 10th consecutive unbeaten home game in the group stage. However, the match also revealed some defensive vulnerabilities, as Chelsea conceded two goals, raising concerns about their backline. Despite the minor setback, the win reflects Chelsea's strong start to the season and sets a positive tone for their campaign ahead.
