Few players or – match Lucy Bronze’s incredible yet the Lionesses legend arrives at Chelsea determined to add to her truly remarkable medal collection.
The 32-year-old says she will play at Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow next – and with good reason following her arrival from Barcelona.
After all, only a few months ago, Bronze was lining up against the Blues in front of a sold-out Bridge for a Champions League semi-final, where the Catalans narrowly triumphed.

‘I’ve never really had anything planned out long-term,’ Bronze explains, when asked if the aim was always to return to the country of her birth.
‘I’ve always gone with my gut feeling at the time, whether it was moving to France when I did, going to Barcelona, or coming back to England. And that was the case this time. I trusted my instincts.’
After Barcelona ended our own European dream last season, the England full-back went on to play in the final for five Champions League, a European and eight domestic league medals already at home, it is reasonable to ponder what still motivates Bronze, with so much already achieved.
