Bompastor was pleased with a “good result” against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
-
She said her side are “ready for a big game, a derby” against Arsenal, but she is expecting a “tough game”.
-
Despite it being a “special” fixture, the Blues boss believes it’s “three points, the same as the other ones”.

Bompastor said it was nice to collect her Manager of the Month award alongside Enzo Maresca, adding: “That’s always a good recognition even though I just want to thank my players because they are the ones doing good.”
-
“It’s part of the job” to play in bigger stadiums and her players are “ready mentally” to play at Emirates Stadium.
