Barcelona vs Manchester City is the standout fixture of the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage draw, while Arsenal are in the same group as Bayern Munich.
Barcelona are the current holders of the trophy, having won the competition in both 2023 and 2024. Eight-time winners Lyon were also in the draw, which took place on Friday afternoon.
The purpose of the group stage draw was to divide the 16 qualified teams into four groups of four. These groups have been lettered A-D.
Clubs from the same country could not be drawn into the same group, and each team will play one home and one away match against each club they have been drawn against. The 16 clubs were seeded into four draw pots of four teams ahead of the draw, with pot one consisting of the title holders, as well as the domestic champions of the three highest-ranked associations.
