Chelsea will take on Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Women’s Champions League, while Manchester City come up against Fiorentina.

Women’s Super League champions Chelsea, beaten at the semi-final stage in 2018 and 2019, host Atletico in the first leg on 3 or 4 March 3 before travelling to the Spanish capital one week later.

Atletico overcame Man City 3-2 on aggregate in the last 16 last year before exiting the competition against Barcelona in the final eight.

City, semi-finalists in 2017 and 2018, have a first-leg home advantage versus Fiorentina and will travel to Italy the following week. Fiorentina were beaten 6-0 on aggregate by Arsenal in the Champions League last season.

The 16 sides were divided into two groups of eight – four seeded teams and four unseeded – for the draw, with no club being able to meet a side from their own association. Covid-19 travel restrictions were also taken into account.

Holders Lyon, record seven-time winners and bidding for a sixth successive title, face Danish side Brondby.

Two-time winners Wolfsburg meet Norwegian side LSK Kvinner and Barcelona play Fortuna Hjorring of Denmark.

The final will be played at Gothenburg’s Gamla Ullevi stadium on 16 May.
