Magdalena Eriksson and Pernille Harder's Chelsea exits became official so André had to bring in our resident Swedish football expert, Mia Eriksson, to talk about Magda's Chelsea legacy.

We discuss Magda's journey and growth with Chelsea, which coincided with Chelsea's growth to dominant team in England, to a force in the Champions league. We also look at her impact far beyond the pitch, and what makes her (and her partner, Pernille Harder) icons and role models who transcend sport and gender.

Then we look ahead to a big game that is a big game but doesn't feel as big as it probably should, Chelsea hosting Arsenal at Kingsmeadow. We discuss the stakes for each club, and of course, give our predictions! Please listen, subscribe, rate and review! #CFCW💙💙

André welcomes back Mia Eriksson to discuss all things Chelsea ahead of the FA Cup Final against Manchester United.

We talk about everyone somehow being surprised that Chelsea score lots of goals in the WSL, Pernille returning to the pitch with a vengeance, playing at Wembley, who has the psychological advantage, and how we want to see Chelsea play against the Red Devils.

Then we address the sad rumors about Magda and Pernille leaving and reportedly having already signed contracts with Bayern Munich. We take some time to remember Magda's Chelsea career and wallow in a bit of sorrow about never really getting to see the best of Pernille for a substantial amount of time in her short Chelsea career. Plus André reveals the only thing/player/person who can make it all better!

A couple days after Chelsea's UWCL semifinal exit to Barcelona, Maryam & André chat to process the tie.

We begin the pod by exorcising frustrations about opportunities that could have reshaped one or both games, and therefore the tie, but then pull back to think about Chelsea's performances as a whole. We contextualize the effort across both legs to identify the progress being made, and why there's hope that – even though it'll have to wait at least another year – we'll win this thing yet.

André couldn't wait to talk about Chelsea's outrageous, insane, ridiculous, amazing escape over Lyon so he gets straight into it and brings Mia Eriksson along for the ride. We review an absolutely wild UWCL quarterfinal moment by moment to relive an iconic Chelsea win. We also spotlight some immense performances, and wonder just what the hell is flowing through Maren Mjelde's veins! Plus, we pass on Ann-Katrin Berger's very simple advice to goalkeepers and penalty takers around the world.

Then we look at Chelsea getting terrific performances from a heavily rotated side as they avoid the Aston Villa banana skin, 3-0.

Well, that wasn't great. Maryam welcomes Fran Kirby's Fight Club's adopted cohost Mia Eriksson to the pod to discuss Chelsea's no good very bad day in Manchester.

CFCW suffered their second loss of the season in a 2-0 match versus Manchester City. Maryam & Mia discuss what went wrong, how Emma tried to cope, and what it means for the title race. They also do their best to convince you to forget about Sunday, there's a Champions League quarterfinal to get through this week!

Maryam & André quickly review Chelsea's 3-1 win over Reading in the FA Cup before shifting focus to the return of the UEFA Women's Champions League!

Chelsea have been given the task of getting by Lyon in the quarterfinal round, so we preview the first leg, which will be played in Lyon on Wednesday, March 22. We look at Lyon's history of dominance, but put it in a bit of perspective due to the current landscape of women's football. Then we look at the injury situation at both clubs (hint: improving for Lyon, not so much at Chelsea), and pick out key players in the tie.

Of course, because Maryam is here, we also give our predictions! Please listen, subscribe, rate and review! #CFCW💙💙
