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.

Text size:

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.
