Arsenal Women have been drawn to play against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals in March after the draw was made today in Nyon.
The Gunners will travel to Munich for the first leg on 21/22 March and play the second leg at Emirates Stadium a week later.
It completes an incredible schedule of games for Arsenal who, having played Manchester City on Wednesday night, play them again on Saturday, followed by a double header against Chelsea in the FA Cup 5th Round before taking them on in the Conti Cup Final a week later at Selhurst Park.
Later in March, they then negotiate this two-legged Champions League quarter-final. The remainder of the UWCL Draw looks like this:
Lyon v Chelsea
Roma v Barcelona
Wolfsburg v PSG
If Arsenal are successful against Bayern, they will play the winners of Wolfsburg v PSG with the second leg at home.
Let’s take 1 game per time approach.
We are conquering all in Jesus name
🙏🏾
I hate playing the same team twice back to back.
Bayern Munich will be very interesting opponents. Thank goodness Lia Wälti is fit again.
And congrats to Ellen White! How exciting for her – becoming a European Champion and a first time mum within 12 months.
Something else they’ll never be able to say about Harry Kane.
You never know – he has an outside chance of becoming a first time mum
Go smash them, ladies. COYG!!!!
That’s a bit tough on Roma.
Gosh we lucked out with draw eh? Barca-Chelsea-Lyon all on the same side, 3 favourites reduced to 1 if we make the final. Munich are much more beatable though, bodes well for us. COYG!
I am always amazed how Chelsea is considered favorites when they haven’t beaten anyone of note, But Arsenal who Breastfed Lyon and Juventus are not. We always find was to disrespect Arsenal and hype up opponents. Incredible really.
Breastfed?!
Chelsea are not one of the favourite. Even before the draw they had the same chances of winning it as us (probably slightly higher because of our injuries. I would the favourites are:
Barca
Lyon (because of their injuries)
Wolfsburg
Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal
Roma
Bayern have been so strong defensively in the German league and beat Barcelona in the CL group stages. Very physical team as well just like Wolfsburg.
Its going to be tough whichever route we go. I believe we have a more realistic chance of getting to the final than Chelski.
