Guro Reiten scored on her Chelsea debut with Maren Mjelde also finding the net, as the Blues suffered ‘a frustrating 5-2 loss’ to Montpellier.
Their second game saw them 3-0 down before the break against a much more prepared Bayern Munich side, who are just a week away the start of the Frauen Bundesliga season.
Lineth Beerensteyn and Jovana Damnjanovic scored in the first half, with a Millie Bright own-goal in-between
