Arsenal will face both of last year’s finalists — Barcelona and OL Lyonnes — in the league phase of this year’s Women’s Champions League, while Chelsea have a slightly easier start to their competition.
The draw for the six-game league phase was made on Friday, with several potential finals taking place early on in the competition — which is all live on Disney+ in Europe.
Arsenal were handed a tough draw, and will have to face both Barcelona — who they beat in the 2024-25 final — and last year’s beaten finalists Lyonnes. Benfica and Inter Milan were also drawn to face Renée Slegers’ side.
