Chelsea Women are closing in on a historic quadruple but it has taken a remarkable rebuild to get here
It is hard to describe what it has been like to watch what is surely one of the best women’s teams to ever play in England’s top flight. Magical yet intense, sleek yet gritty, there are juxtapositions aplenty in Emma Hayes’s all-conquering Chelsea team.
In many ways it is the marriage of these opposites that has made this team exhilarating and set it on course for a historic quadruple – a feat achieved only once before, by Arsenal in 2006-07. With the Women’s Super League title wrapped up on the final day of the season on Sunday and the Continental League Cup already secured it is two down, two to go.
