Not ideal for Chelsea to have one of their central defenders in the book so early. PSG are continually looking to get bodies around her and press when she's on the ball. Chelsea CORNER CHELSEA Chelsea holding firm defensively.

Millie Bright netted the decisive goal as Chelsea Women opened their UEFA Women's Champions League group stage campaign with a 1-0 victory over Paris ...

We continued to search for a second goal that would provide a much-needed cushion as we entered into the final five minutes of the match. It proved to be a successful night in Paris as we kick-started our Champions League group stage campaign in the best possible fashion. PSG went searching for an equaliser with one additional minute to play, but Chelsea stood strong and took a slender one-goal lead into the interval. The hosts began to settle into a passing rhythm but hadn’t asked any real questions of Ann-Katrin Berger in the Blues goal. On 27 minutes, the Blues were rewarded for their patience and broke the deadlock courtesy of Bright. We saw further openings at goal with Sam Kerr and Guro Reiten conjuring chances which went begging, but stood firm in defence to protect a one-goal lead which we took into the break. Moments later, the Australian saw the goalkeeper off her line and attempted an audacious effort from range that was comfortably dealt with in the end. Captain Magdalena Eriksson came agonisingly close to doubling our lead before the hour mark, glancing a header narrowly wide of another teasing Cuthbert delivery. However, the Blues approached the 90 minutes on matchday one in professional and disciplined fashion, showing patience and resilience to earn their rewards in front of a relentlessly vocal home crowd. Reiten’s free-kick in a dangerous central position was blocked by the wall before Kerr turned her marker neatly inside the box, only to be denied by PSG goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi. It was a 4-2-3-1 formation for Chelsea with Mjelde, the hero in this fixture three years ago, operating at right-back. Jelena Cankovic and Fran Kirby were absent from the travelling squad due to injury and illness respectively.

Millie Bright gave Chelsea a 1-0 win at Paris Saint-Germain while there were also opening victories for Wolfsburg, Real Madrid and Roma.

Three-time quarter-finalists Slavia made Roma work but on 62 minutes Emilie Haavi produced a thrilling run and strike, which Giacinti touched over the line. Jill Roord ensured a comprehensive success for last season’s semi-finalists just before the end with a low shot. Two goals in the first 15 minutes from Ewa Pajor, the second a cute chip, gave the home team a lead they never looked like losing. Paris, who won all six of their group games last season on their way to the semis, went closest through the lively Kadidiatou Diani, but lacked precision in the final third. Two-time champions Wolfsburg made a dominant start to this season’s campaign with a one-sided win over Austria's first group representatives, St. A day after Arsenal opened with victory at Lyon, Chelsea also secured maximum points in France thanks to Millie Bright's first-half volley.
