Real Madrid vs Chelsea LIVE! Women's Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Real Madrid vs Chelsea LIVE!

The 2023-24 Women's Champions League group stage kicked off for Chelsea tonight as they travelled to Spain for a clash with Real Madrid. This was the first match the Blues have faced since Emma Hayes was confirmed as the next USA manager and there is hope she can depart with a "fairytale" farewell.

That requires Chelsea to lift the Champions League trophy for the first time ever having lost to Barcelona in both the 2021 final and last year's semi-finals. A run of four wins in a row, scoring 15 goals, set them up well for this tie in Madrid.

However the score finished 2-2 as Olga Carmona struck early via a hefty deflection and then late on after a controversial penalty was awarded to Madrid. In between, Chelsea were largely the better team and levelled via Niamh Charles before Sam Kerr's header. Charles then saw a goal disallowed for offside with the last kick of the game.
