Chelsea will play holders Lyon in the Women’s Champions League quarter-finals, while Arsenal face Bayern Munich - in a tough draw for both English teams.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal progressed as group winners, but the Blues were handed a nightmare draw against European champions Lyon - who were thumped 5-1 at home by Arsenal and finished as runners-up in Group C.

If Chelsea progress, they will face last year’s runners-up Barcelona or Roma in the semi-finals. Arsenal were put in the other side of the draw and if the Gunners defeat Bayern they will play either Paris Saint-Germain or Wolfsburg in the last eight.

Following the draw for the Women’s Champions League knockout rounds, looking ahead there is potential for an all English final.

Arsenal and Chelsea were drawn in opposite sides of the draw and would only meet each other in the climactic match.

For that to happen though Arsenal must first defeat Bayern Munich before one of either PSG or Wolfsburg. This is the easier side of the draw you feel though still pretty tough.

Chelsea take on the holders Lyon in their quarter-final before a potential semi-final against Barcelona - if the Spanish side defeat Roma.

Roma - making their first appearance at this stage of the competition - and drawn against Wolfsburg. They can’t face them as both teams were in the same group.

Instead Roma take on Barcelona.
