Lyon are the record winners of this competition after winning it eight times and are still the favourites to lift the crown this season, despite a humiliating 5-1 group stage defeat to another English team, Arsenal.

Arsenal v Bayern Munich

Jonas Eidevall's side shook the world when they put five past defending champions, Lyon, in the group stages, establishing themselves as contenders for the title they once won in the 2006/07 season.

They face a Bayern Munich team that are starting to become a force to be reckoned with in the women's game after winning the Frauen-Bundesliga in the 2020/21 season, wrestling it back from the dominant Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg v Psg 

Wolfsburg would look to win the UWCL title for the first time since their consecutive wins in the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons.

They face a PSG side that are trying to become a dominant force in the women's game.

Semi-final draws

The semi-final draws were done after the quarter-finals, and teams already know who they come up against in the eventuality of quarter-final success.

The winner in the Barcelona and Roma tie would take on the victor between Chelsea and Lyon. Whoever wins the game between Arsenal and Bayern Munich will face the winner of Wolfsburg vs. PSG.
