Chelsea are drawn to meet Real Madrid in the group stage of the Women's Champions League, while defending champions Barcelona face Eintracht Frankfurt.

Chelsea Women have been drawn to face Real Madrid in the group stage of the Women's Champions League for the second year running.

Emma Hayes's side bypassed the qualifying rounds thanks to their Women's Super League triumph last term and now set out on a mission for a maiden continental triumph, having finished as runners-up to Barcelona in the 2020-21 season.

The Blues will now reunite with Real Madrid only a year on from doing battle with the Spanish giants in the 2022-23 group stage, where they won 2-0 at Kingsmeadow before being held to a 1-1 draw at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.

Also joining Chelsea and Real Madrid - who reached the 2021-22 quarter-finals - in Group D are French outfit Paris Women, who defeated Arsenal in the qualifying rounds en route to a first group-stage appearance since progressing to the 2012-13 semi-finals.

Swedish Damallsvenskan leaders BK Hacken complete the section, while defending champions Barcelona Women will take on four-time winners Eintracht Frankfurt Women, Rosengard and Benfica Women.

Paris Saint-Germain Women - who defeated Manchester United 4-2 on aggregate in a two-legged qualifying tie - have been drawn to face Bayern Munich Women, Roma Women and Ajax Women in a tantalising Group C, while eight-time winners Lyon Women are up against Brann Women, Slavia Prague Women and St Polten Women in Group B.
