Chelsea have never won the League Cup and they have the chance to break their duck against
Arsenal this weekend
The Continental Cup is the only domestic title missing from the trophy cabinet of the
Chelsea captain, Magda Eriksson, after two seasons in
England but, more surprisingly, it is also missing from her club’s.
“It’s been like our mantra the whole year, the Continental Cup: ‘We’ve never won this, we’ve never won this,’” Eriksson says, before Saturday’s final against Arsenal in Nottingham. “It has been the fuel in every game we’ve played in the tournament. I think we are all, honest to God, a bit tired of Emma [Hayes, the manager] saying it, so we said: ‘OK, now we’re going to win this so she can’t say it any more.’”
