Ramona Bachmann's statement
The Swiss striker spoke to PSG TV ahead of the UEFA Women's Champions League match: "I have always considered Chelsea to be one of the best teams in Europe. In the first game we had possession but we didn't manage to create any chances. At that stage of the season, I think we were still developing. Tactically, I think we are better than we were."
