Chelsea will face Manchester City in an all-English quarter-final in the Women’s Champions League, while defending champions Barcelona were drawn against Wolfsburg in a repeat of the 2023 final.
Women’s Super League leaders Chelsea edged City to the English title on goal difference last season and are on track to secure a sixth consecutive top-flight crown.
Barcelona, who staged a stunning comeback from two goals down to defeat Wolfsburg in the final two years ago, are aiming for a fourth European title in five seasons.
Arsenal, champions in 2007, will meet Real Madrid in the last eight, while last season’s runners-up, Lyon, will take on Bayern Munich.
Lyon, the competition’s record eight-time winners, were one of only two teams to finish the group stage with a perfect record, alongside Chelsea.
The first legs are scheduled for March 18-19, with the return fixtures a week later.
The winners of the tie between Chelsea and City will take on Barcelona or Wolfsburg in the semi-finals in April.
This season’s final will be held at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon on May 24.
