Millie Bright hopes Chelsea maintain ‘monster mentality’ with team chasing European glory in her tenth year at the club

MILLIE BRIGHT wants Chelsea to maintain their “monster mentality” with the WSL leaders currently unbeaten so far this season.

And taking on Barcelona in the 2021 Champions League final remains one of her standout memories despite her side’s 4-0 loss.

At 8:00pm tomorrow the Blues skipper and her team-mates host FC Twente at Stamford Bridge with the aim of finishing top of group B 

While their place in the tournament’s knockout phase has already been booked, Chelsea hope to extend their winning streak to 14 games in Europe and the WSL this term.

For Bright, 31, the idea of going unbeaten has sat in her mind. 

The centre-back, who sealed a Blues move ten years ago today, hopes the team retain its “winning DNA” will be one of her legacies.

Bright, whose side are currently unbeaten this term, said: “I want my legacy to be winning.

“I’ve always said that since day one and from lifting that first trophy. 

“I want Chelsea to keep that winning DNA and monster mentality. 

“I always joke about being a surprise signing. No one expected it and there were a lot of doubts.

“I want everyone to look at that and know that if you have the right mentality, attitude and apply yourself properly, you can be successful in whatever environment you go into.”

Since joining Chelsea from a Doncaster Rovers Belles side that were demoted in 2013, Bright has lifted seven WSL titles, four FA Cups and two Women’s League Cups. 

One major prize that has thus far eluded her is a Women’s Champions League trophy. 

And Bright hopes her tenth term at Chelsea could be the season she lifts one. 

She adds: “To be able to play in that Champions League final (against Barcelona three years ago) is a standing memory because I want to be able to go to one again. 

“I don’t have any regrets (about the result). I learnt so much from that experience.
