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)

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has revealed why Gabriel Magalhães and Jurrien Timber were out of the squad for their 1-0 win over AC Milan on Wednesday night.

Bukoyo Saka’s lone strike was all the Gunners needed to beat the Italian side in Singapore on Wednesday.

Magalhães did not take part in the game due to a niggle, while Timber is yet to return to full training.

After the game the former Manchester City assistant coach said he did not involve the two defenders in the game to minimise risk ahead of the new season.

The Spaniard would not want to use players who are not fully fit.

He said via Football London, “With Jurrien he is still not there. He is still not fully training yet with us. Gabby had a little niggle the other day in training.”

He noted that Magalhães has been out so long hence the need to manage him.

Speaking about Saka, who had an injury layoff last season, Arteta said the winger is back to his best.

Real Madrid have agreed to their manager Xabi Alonso’s two requests amid the ongoing summer transfer window.

As reported by Madrid Zone, via Cadena SER, Alonso has informed Real Madrid that he wants Dani Ceballos to stay at the club beyond this summer transfer window.

The report added that Alonso also told Real Madrid not to sell any midfielder this summer, adding that the Los Blancos agreed to his request.

Recall that Ceballos has been linked with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

The former Arsenal star has been linked with a move to Spanish La Liga side Real Betis this summer.

This comes after Luka Modric’s departure from the Los Blancos earlier this month.

Alonso is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new 2025/26 LaLiga campaign after their exit at the Club World Cup at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain some days ago.
