While Thompson enjoyed an impressive individual campaign, she acknowledged Chelsea fell short of the standards traditionally associated with the club. Despite winning the previous six consecutive Women’s Super League titles, the Blues plummeted to a third-place finish in their second season under Sonia Bompastor. They also failed to make it three consecutive semi-final appearances in the Women’s Champions League, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
“As a team, we left a lot that we wanted this season on the table,” Thompson said. “That’s not what Chelsea is about as a club. We have always won a lot of trophies, and being top of the league is something that’s really important.”
