Defending champions Barcelona will face a challenging path in the Women’s Champions League league phase after Friday’s draw in Nyon, Switzerland. The Spanish giants are set to host Arsenal, Paris FC, and Servette, while also facing away fixtures against Bayern Munich, Roma, and Danish side HB Koge.
Arsenal enter the group stage following their victory over Barcelona in the 2025 final, drawn alongside a demanding schedule that includes a trip to Catalonia and a home clash against eight-time winners Lyon. Under Renee Slegers, the English side will also travel to face Paris FC and Inter Milan, while welcoming Benfica and Koge to north London.
