Chelsea Real Madrid Arsenal Paris Paris FC

Chelsea have been drawn against Real Madrid and Arsenal's conquerors Paris FC in the Women's Champions League group stage.

Emma Hayes' side, beaten finalists in 2021, will also face Swedish outfit Hacken in Group D.

French side Paris beat last season's semi-finalists Arsenal on penalties in the first qualifying round on their way to this phase of the competition for the first time.

Neighbours Paris Saint-Germain, who dispensed with WSL runners-up Manchester United in the second qualifying round, have been drawn in Group C along with Bayern Munich, Roma and Ajax.

Eight-times winners Lyon face Slavia Prague, St Polten and Brann - who beat Scottish champions Glasgow City to reach this stage for the first time.

Reigning champions Barcelona were paired with Rosengard, Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt.
