Summary
Matt Davies-Adams has got Liam Twomey, Simon Johnson and Dom Fifield alongside him as The Athletic's Chelsea experts take a closer look at a defining week for the men's and women's teams.
Women’s Football Correspondent Katie Whyatt is with us to reflect on Emma Hayes' history makers - as the Blues book their place in the Champions League final after a thriller against Bayern Munich at Kingsmeadow. It's now over to Thomas Tuchel's side, with a full preview of Wednesday night's finely poised second-leg clash with Real Madrid.
Plus, a word on the routine 2-0 victory over Fulham in the Premier League - and a look ahead to Saturday's trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City.
