Yet her insight into our next opponent runs even deeper, with Bompastor having spent 13 years as a player in the French women’s national team alongside the Paris head coach,

The pair will reunite in opposite dugouts at Stamford Bridge in the UWCL league phase, with three points up for grabs for the winner.

‘I know the coach there, and they have progressed really well,’ said Bompastor. ‘They made a big decision this summer, bringing new investors into the team and putting more money into the team. I think the project they have over there is a good one.

‘Every year, they are making progress. We are expecting them to be a strong side tomorrow, especially because everyone has extra motivation when they play Chelsea.

‘It will be a tough game, and they have really good individuals. They play well as a team, but we also have a really good side, and we are confident going into the game as well.’

The Blues took a point from FC Twente in our first Champions League fixture last week, but will be in search of all three points this time around.

Bompastor has recently spoken of the need to be more clinical as Chelsea have scored only one goal in four of our last five matches, but is confident that her side are making progress in this regard.

‘When I analyse the games, I see we are creating a lot, which is the most important for me,' the boss continued. ‘We are bringing the ball high up the pitch, and we are able to deliver the ball into the box in different ways. The most difficult thing in football is to score goals. We need to stay confident, we need to keep trying. One goal was enough in the last game.

‘We were confident enough against Tottenham; we kept trying and working hard, kept creating opportunities, and that way, we will find a way to score. In this situation, it's more important to have the right mentality, to keep trying, keep working up, to make sure we just put the ball in the net.

‘Sometimes, when you can be more clinical, you can kill the opposition’s hope a little bit sooner in the game, and that's good. We did that in the West Ham game, and when you are more clinical, you are in a better place.’
