St Pölten v Chelsea: Women’s Champions League – live | Women’s Champions League

Here is what Sonia Bompastor said in her pre-match press conference.

On the possibility of starting a weaker side:

We’re a team that create a lot of opportunities. We can move the ball high up the pitch so then it’s down to finishing them. The players should be confident; they just need to avoid overthinking.

On Peng starting after Hampton picked up an injury against Arsenal:

She hasn’t had a lot of minutes, but she played well in the first game against Twente and she is performing well in every training session.

It is a positive for her to play in the game and we are confident in her. She has a lot of quality and she will be playing. That is what we’re focused on.

And on St Pölten:

They are a well-organised defensive unit, very compact. They don’t allow you much space on the pitch and they are aggressive out of possession, so it’s always difficult to break their lines, to break their block. An early goal would be great; if not, we must stay patient.
