There is no shortage of world stars at Chelsea. But sometimes that is not enough.
After the match, national team defender Nathalie Björn, currently Chelsea’s only Swede, glances with a wry smile at her national team colleague Jennifer Falk, who is standing next to her.
It's really annoying, she says after the 0-0 draw in Gothenburg.
No, but she is very good and of course incredibly important for us in Sweden. And for Häcken today.
"Extremely tired"
Chelsea had a 29-4 advantage in shots. But Jennifer Falk stopped everything.
It was intense. And a lot of fun. There were still a few saves in dangerous situations and some difficult crosses and shots. So there was a lot to do, she says.
I got extremely tired, but I am very proud of the whole team.
Häcken started the Champions League match with a little too much respect, according to coach Elena Sadiku. That is why they lost 1-0 to Inter and 3-0 to Juventus before Häcken managed to earn a point with a 1-1 draw against Paris FC.
But against Chelsea, that respect was gone, says the coach, who praises Jennifer Falk, among others, after the match.
She is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. She is that good, she is absolutely fantastic, says Elena Sadiku.
"Will win"
Häcken finishes the Swedish league season this weekend with a home match against Piteå, when the Hisingslaget will also receive the Swedish championship trophy.
At the same time, Chelsea have a top-of-the-table match against Manchester City. The build-up could have been better, says Nathalie Björn.
It is clear that we will win a match like this. We cannot hide that. But at the same time I think Häcken is doing really well, she says.
We also have matches left in the Champions League and have everything in our own hands. But it is clear that we wanted to win this match.
