Holders Lyon face Chelsea in Women's Champions League quarters
Holders Lyon were handed a tie with English WSL leaders Chelsea in the quarter-finals of this season's Women's Champions League as the draw for the last eight and the semi-finals was made on Friday.
Chelsea, who topped their group ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, will travel to France for the first leg with the tie to be played in late March.

Chelsea or Lyon will play either 2021 winners Barcelona or Roma in the other semi-final.
