Magda Eriksson insists belief is the key to Chelsea’s recent success as the Blues prepare to continue their quadruple quest when they play Barcelona in the Women’s Champions League final. Emma Hayes’ team are also still in the FA Cup and face Everton in the fifth round next week. Sunday’s Champions League showpiece in Gothenburg represents the Blues’ third major final in the past two terms, having suffered semi-final heartache seven times between 2016 and 2019. Skipper Eriksson puts Chelsea’s newfound ability to be able to make that next step down to strength of mind within the squad. There will be nerves, 100 per cent, and for many of us it is our first Champions League final, but we have to manage it.
