Chelsea Women have clinched the 2024–25 Barclays Women’s Super League title, marking their sixth straight Women’s Super League (WSL) title.
The 1-0 win, over Manchester United, sealed by Lucy Bronze’s first-half strike, was made even sweeter after Arsenal collapsed to a stunning 5-2 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, handing Chelsea the opportunity to wrap up the league with two games to spare.
Bompastor’s Brilliant Debut Season: From Lyon to London Glory
For head coach Sonia Bompastor, who took the reins from legendary manager Emma Hayes in the summer, the triumph marks a dream start to life in English football.
Having already delivered the League Cup in March, Bompastor now holds her first WSL crown — and Chelsea’s eighth overall.
Despite the pressure of expectation and the mental toll of being eliminated from the UEFA Women’s Champions League by Barcelona just three days earlier, Chelsea delivered a composed and professional performance.
Lucy Bronze the Hero as United Fall Short Again
The only goal of the night came from an unlikely source — right-back Lucy Bronze, who found the net with a well-placed header in the 37th minute. United, who are still grappling for a top-three finish, couldn’t find a response.
Chelsea’s dominance was underlined by their flawless record this season against England’s elite — doing the double over Manchester City, Arsenal, and now United.
Treble Still On: Wembley Awaits
The Blues’ next target? The FA Cup final on May 18, once again against Manchester United — this time at Wembley Stadium, where Chelsea will aim to complete a domestic treble.
Chelsea previously completed a treble in 2020–21, and repeating that feat would further engrave their dominance into WSL history.
Unbeaten and Unmatched: WSL Points Record in Sight
Should Chelsea win their remaining two league games, they would go unbeaten for the entire season — a feat not achieved since Arsenal’s Invincibles in 2006–07 — and break their own WSL points record of 58 set in 2022–23.
They currently sit on 55 points, needing just four more to make history.
