Chelsea will face Women’s Super League (WSL) rivals Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League while Arsenal will play Real Madrid.
The all-WSL tie means Chelsea and City will face each other four times in a row in all competitions with the Subway Cup final on March 15 and a league fixture on March 23 also scheduled for next month.
Chelsea beat City 2-0 in the first WSL meeting of the two of the season in November, with Mayra Ramirez and Guro Reiten scoring second-half goals at Stamford Bridge.
Sonia Bompastor’s Chelsea won Champions League Group B with a perfect six-from-six record, with Madrid following them through in second place.
Gareth Taylor’s City followed two-time defending champions Barcelona through in Group D.
Arsenal, now under recently-appointed Renee Slegers, topped Group C with five wins and one draw from their six matches with Bayern Munich joining them in the last eight.
Lyon — the eight-time winners — were drawn against Bayern.
