Chelsea to play Man City in Women’s Champions League quarters

Chelsea will face Manchester City in an all-English quarter-final in the Women’s Champions League, while holders Barcelona were drawn against Wolfsburg on Friday in a repeat of the 2023 final.

Women’s Super League leaders Chelsea pipped City to the English title on goal difference last season and are on course for a sixth successive top-flight crown.

Barcelona, who came from two goals down to beat Wolfsburg in the final two years ago, are chasing a fourth European title in five seasons.

Arsenal, the 2007 champions, will play Real Madrid in the last eight while last season’s runners-up Lyon meet Bayern Munich.

Lyon are the record eight-time winners of the competition and were one of two teams to advance from the group stage with maximum points, along with Chelsea.

The first legs are scheduled for March 18-19, with the return fixtures a week later.

The winners of the tie between Chelsea and City will take on Barcelona or Wolfsburg in the semi-finals in April.

This season’s final will be held at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon on May 24.

Draw in full:

Real Madrid (ESP) v Arsenal (ENG)

Manchester City (ENG) v Chelsea (ENG)

Wolfsburg (GER) v Barcelona (ESP)

Bayern Munich (GER) v Lyon (FRA)
