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 legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
