To end her time with Chelsea, a glorious trophy-laden decade behind her.
The Champions League, the only one missing from her extensive collection.
She's making some really clever runs, Mateo. Chelsea just can't keep it at the moment.
Paris FC on top. Boccia! Good save by Berger, who was well positioned.
But Paris FC really are looking to take the game to Chelsea here.
They are, and just as you said, Adam, down this near side here, it's really good play from...
Talked about how she feels she's a really intelligent footballer.
Yeah, I think this is going to be a really good test for her though, because at the moment,
Paris are trying to play down their right-hand side,
because they know Lauren James probably wouldn't track back as well.
And then you've got Niamh Charles who pushes forward. So there are gaps back there,
and I could see Niamh Charles actually asking Emma Hayes, do you want me to go forward?
And she has stayed a little bit behind defensive. Lauren James!
After a hat-trick at the weekend, you'd have backed her there, wouldn't you?
That was definitely a chance, wasn't it? It just opened up for her.
A lovely little pass for Sierra, winning the ball back there.
Charles, just got away from Sam Kerr.
Now it's Sissoko to get it clear, but Chelsea will come again here with Lauren James.
Nice bit of skill, and a lovely cross too, that's a superb goal!
What about that for an assist from Lauren James?
Few players in the game would have even saw that that was on,
and Sam Kerr, she was right on the end of it, anticipated the cross,
and then finished it with some aplomb.
What a ball, what a run from Sam Kerr, she just holds it, and great finish.
And impossible to mark, right? Absolutely.
Blindside, siding, grey bauble, great finish from Sam Kerr.
What a ball that is from Lauren James, the weight of it.
James, Cuthbert, well run back though by Tine Borgia.
Do you know when Lauren James got on that ball I was nearly going to
shout at her to pass, infield!
Fleming's in now, that's a good save.
And it was Riton Khan who burst through there.
Plenty forward here for Paris, Sissoko the centre-half, one of them.
Berger thought about coming for it, then went back, and it's in!
They couldn't keep it out, Kadri was on the line.
Grébeau-Val was forwards, and Paris have levelled it at Stamford Bridge from a set-piece.
All their players back.
Berger does think about coming for it, changes her mind, but then is caught,
neither here nor there.
She shouldn't be scoring a header from there.
Yeah, they do, they link up really well together.
You can just see right here that Kerr has dropped in,
and Kirby's filled in that space behind her.
Tine with the pass, this is Matteo and Borgia,
oh, lovely skill, can she finish?
Good save, Berger!
Such a nice move there by Paris FC, but Borgia denied the goal.
What a save, what an important save from Berger.
Tine with the shot, which is watched wide by Berger,
and a big moment at the start of the second half.
Crucial, crucial save from Berger.
It's really good play, good touching from Borgia.
James, Kirby's found space.
It's taken on superbly by Rittenkamp, reads!
And in it goes, Sam Kerr with another.
Great cross to pick her out.
He's just got that knack of being in the right place at the right time.
Lauren James coming into midfield, creating the overload.
And Fran Kirby finding those areas.
She's offside, she's offside.
Doesn't matter, she scored.
But what a great ball in from Kanarid.
Borgia does, she's a physical number nine,
and starts the press, she initiates the press for Paris FC,
which is really important.
Sam Kerr on a hat-trick, and gets it spectacularly!
What a player, what a moment!
She's amazing.
It doesn't matter, let's just talk about this player here.
What a finish from her.
And she's under pressure, it's not an easy thing to do.
84 for her in the English top flight, 115 of those with Chelsea.
What a career she's had.
She again, like Kirby, will sit in those pockets, sit in those areas.
And she's extremely good at running at defenders.
Kirby, Ingle, Cuthbert, nice turn, good shot!
Not far away.
She praised her Scottishness, says she's streetwise confident.
Tine, could they get one back, Paris FC?
It's Tine again, Julie Soiré.
Good movement from Tine, and a pullback's good to Fleury.
Good chance, she's been really impressive tonight.
That's a good ball too, to Kirby.
Oh, what a measure, past Kerr again!
That would have been some goal.
It deserved it, didn't it?
Mielda, Chelsea's next game.
They're home to Leicester in the WSL at the weekend.
They then have a London derby at Arsenal after that, before Hekken come to London.
Here's Fleury, still going.
Lawrence, Apollina it was who slid in at the expense of a corner.
That is saying we'll take it.
Chelsea finish with a flourish.
Wow, they do finish with a flourish.
Lovely finish there by Sophie Ingle.
Made it look so easy.
Brilliant goal, 4-1 Chelsea.
And it's all about the movement there from Sophie Ingle.
Just coming from around the back.
Mielda just turning around, taking her player out.
And it's Grégoire Val just losing Sophie Ingle there.
But she still had to finish it.
She did very well.
Mulder seen.
Chelsea have their first win on the group stage.
Sam Kerr, outstanding.
A hat-trick for the Chelsea centre-forwards.
