Manchester United will hope to keep their dream of a first Women’s Champions League title alive as they play host to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their quarter-final.
United were required to go through an extra knockout stage after missing out on a top-four finish in the league phase but made no mistake against Atletico Madrid, dispatching the Spanish outfit 5-0 on aggregate to book their place in the last eight.
Bayern, meanwhile, resume their European campaign after getting a bye to the quarter-finals and will hope to take their stellar domestic form into continental competition, with the club runaway leaders at the top of the Frauen-Bundesliga.
United are one of three English teams remaining in the Champions League, which could culminate in an all-WSL final if either Chelsea or Arsenal can make it all the way to Oslo on the other side of the bracket.
