When Sonia Bompastor picked up the Chelsea baton from Emma Hayes last summer, it was hard to imagine any further accolades this team could be awarded this season.
A WSL title? Probably. A League Cup trophy? Likely. But invincible? Even two-time Champions League winner Bompastor never dreamed that she would finish her first season in charge completely unbeaten, breaking the record points total in the process.
Never before has a women’s league team completed a 22-game season without losing a game, but Bompastor has managed to instill a sense of belief in this group of champions that no other team has been able to surpass.
