Speaking after watching Sonia Bompastor’s side win the women’s FA Cup final at Wembley by beating Manchester United 3-0, Reddit co-founder Ohanian, who bought a 10% stake in Chelsea last week for £20 million ($26.52 million), talked up the team.

Chelsea triumphed 3-0 over Manchester United in the Women’s FA Cup final, securing a domestic treble with prior victories in the Super League and League Cup.

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian’s £20 million investment for a 10% stake in Chelsea Women is seen as transformative for the club and the women’s game in England, according to manager Sonia Bompastor.

Chelsea faces a daunting challenge, needing to score at least three goals against Barcelona while maintaining a solid defence to overturn a 4-1 deficit from the first leg.

Chelsea recorded a pre-tax profit of £128.4 million for the year ending June 2024, rebounding from a £90.1 million loss the previous year, primarily due to the sale of their women’s team.

Chelsea dropped points for only the third time this season, allowing Arsenal and Manchester United to close the gap in the title race after both secured victories over the weekend.

Chelsea staged a remarkable comeback, overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit to win 3-0, securing a 3-2 aggregate victory in the UWCL quarterfinals.

“Of course, mathematically it’s not, but I think the title is done. Our job between now and the end of the season is to keep pushing until the end, but I think it will be very difficult.”

Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-finals. It marked Barcelona’s first loss on home soil in five years.
