Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze claimed her side were "miles off it" during the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg but insisted the situation could be rectified.

Substitute Vivianne Miedema climbed off the bench to score twice and fire City into a commanding position in the tie, handing Sonia Bompastor her first defeat as Chelsea boss, four days after lifting the League Cup.

The Blues face an uphill battle in the second leg to secure an elusive first Champions League title, although Bronze is confident they can do it when the two sides meet again at Stamford Bridge on March 27.
