Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said "the title is done" after her side were beaten 4-3 by Liverpool in the Women's Super League on Wednesday.
Despite holding a 1-0 half-time lead at Prenton Park, the Blues lost control after the break and succumbed to a damaging second defeat in four days.
Having been eliminated from the Champions League by Barcelona with a semi-final loss on Saturday, Chelsea are six points below WSL leaders Manchester City with a game in hand and eight goals to make up.
"I think the title is done," said Hayes, whose side have three matches left to play.
"Of course, mathematically it's not, but I think the title is done. Our job between now and the end of the season is to keep pushing until the end, but I think it will be very difficult."
