Back-to-back weeks with Women’s Champions League football. What a treat!

Here are the games you have to keep an eye on over the next two days.

Chelsea v Juventus

There’s no time for Chelsea to enjoy their FA Cup win, not with a huge Champions League game in the offing.  The Blues travel to Wolfsburg on the final matchday and would like to have qualification wrapped up before that particular test.

Emma Hayes’ side had to come from behind to win in Turin and Juventus have since taken four points from Wolfsburg; this one will be tough.

Juve have won all their Serie A games so far this season and know a draw in London would probably be enough to qualify with Servette still to come.

This is a massive clash for both sides but also for Champions League heavyweights Wolfsburg. A must-watch.


Arsenal v Barcelona

Arsenal were badly beaten at Wembley. They were also badly beaten by Barcelona when they travelled to face the reigning Champions League holders earlier on in the group stage.

How will they respond to facing Barça again with their FA Cup Final wounds still fresh?

Now Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas headlines the star-studded Barcelona cast and Arsenal will be eager to prove (to themselves and everyone else) that they can scrap with the very, very best.

If not, you start to wonder how well they will be able to compete in the latter stages and if they can hold on to Vivianne Miedema when her contract expires at the end of the season.


Likely winners

Real Madrid (who face Breidablik) and Bayern Munich (BK HĂ€cken) are both big favourites in their games and results should see both teams go through with a game to spare.

But stranger things have happened!
