Sonia Bompastor dismissed talk of winning a quadruple with Chelsea after the Blues reached their first final under the French coach.

Chelsea defeated West Ham 2-0 on Wednesday night to progress to their sixth Women’s League Cup final in a row – where they will face either Arsenal or Manchester City.

Chelsea also hold a seven-point lead at the top of the Women’s Super League and are through to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League – a trophy they have yet to win.

The Blues will also face Everton in the last-16 of the FA Cup as Bompastor’s side continue to battle on all fronts this season, having gone 22 games unbeaten since she took over from Emma Hayes.

New signing Keira Walsh made her Chelsea debut as first-half goals from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Sjoeke Nusken helped defeat West Ham at Kingsmeadow, but Bompastor says she will be taking one game at a time.

“I never think like this,” Bompastor replied when asked about Chelsea’s quadruple chances. “I’m more focused on the next game on Sunday. It’s another cup game, but we’re really happy to get to this final, but if you don’t win, it doesn’t mean anything.

“For me, now the focus is making sure we go deep in every competition. We go game by game and have a focus on the next game and how we can make sure we have big chances to win.”

Chelsea will face either Arsenal or Manchester City in the final, to be played on Saturday 15 March at Derby’s Pride Park Stadium.

The Gunners have beaten Chelsea in the past two Women’s League Cup finals, while Manchester City triumphed over them in 2022.
