Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor says her side needs to “focus on the future” after their 28-game unbeaten run came to an end following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Two goals from half-time substitute Vivianne Miedema secured the victory in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League quarter-final at the Joie Stadium.
Despite the defeat, Bompastor says her Chelsea side, who beat City in the League Cup final on Saturday, still have ambitions to “go deep in every competition.”
“Tonight was a tough performance, a tough result for us,” the 44-year-old told DAZN: ” Maybe the only positive thing from the night is we have a second leg. We will play at home and when there is hope you need to believe it will be possible.
“We said our ambitions at the beginning of the season and we won’t change that. Our ambitions are still there. That is the first time we have been beaten, so that is not a drama.
“It is a big competition for us and we want to go deep in every competition. We still have one game to reverse the situation and there is still hope for us.”
