UWCL DRAW: Arsenal to face Bayern Munich while Chelsea take on champions Lyon | OneFootball

As expected, Arsenal and Chelsea have both been handed tough ties in the quarter-finals of this season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League.

The draw for the last-eight took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland this lunchtime and was streamed live via the association’s official media channels.

Arsenal have been handed a quarter-final tie against German club Bayern Munich. The Gunners will see their quarter-final opponent as challenging, however, they avoided being paired with European champions Lyon due to the fact that they played in the same group as the French giants in the last-16.

Chelsea are undoubtedly the English club with the tougher draw in the quarter-finals. The Blues have been paired with a Lyon side which defeated FC Barcelona 3-1 in last season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League final. The French club have been without a number of players due to injury this season but there is much more to come from them.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea will be away for the first leg ties on 21/22 March 2023. The second legs will take place on 29/30 March 2023.

The semi-final draw has also been determined. Should Arsenal reach the last-four, they will face the winner of the Paris Saint-Germain and VfL Wolfsburg tie while if Chelsea get through, they will meet AS Roma or FC Barcelona.

The 2022/2023 UEFA Women’s Champions League final will take place at the Philips Stadion, home of PSV Eindhoven, on 3 June 2023.
