The Women’s Champions League returns tonight as the knockout stages get underway. Chelsea and Arsenal represent the interests of the English Women’s Super League but face tricky tests against Lyon and Bayern Munich respectively.
Chelsea progressed to the quarter-finals as group winners but a shock 5-1 loss for Lyon on the opening matchday – to Arsenal no less – meant the current holders finished second in Group C. Chelsea must now defeat the eight-time winners to progress and set up a semi-final tie with either last year’s runners-up Barcelona or Serie A leaders Roma.
