She has won pretty much all there is to win alongside this excellent Chelsea team. The one trophy that has of course evaded them to date is the Champions League, no thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/09\/07\/euro-2022-keira-walsh-barcelona\/\" target=\"_self\">Barcelona<\/a>\u2019s brilliance.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, under the stewardship of Emma Hayes, England and co won both the WSL title and also the FA Cup, overcoming a strong challenge from both <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/09\/24\/arsenal-tottenham-hotspur-wsl-attendance-record\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal<\/a> and Manchester City. Talking of her manager with the Blues, and Hayes gave the departing star a glowing report. &#8220;Beth leaves a winner and a Chelsea legend.
