    I'm so pleased that Man United have qualified but I fear that our squad is not strong enough or big enough to go far in the competition.

    Have to say, I think I'm a fan of the league phase. I like how you see a number of huge ties at this early stage.

  4. When and where is the final?published at 12:05 BST

    The final next year will take place in Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway.

    The 27,182 capacity stadium hosted the 1987 and 1997 Women's Euros final.

    It will be held on either 22, 23 or 24 May 2026.

    Looks good for Man Utd - especially a home tie facing former keeper Mary Earps in goal for PSG! Mouth watering.

    Will this finally be Chelsea's year?

    Thumbs up for yes, down for no.

  7. How far can Man Utd go?published at 11:56 BST

    Manchester United

    Manchester United created history last night by qualifying for the main draw of the Champions League for the first time.

    How far can they go, though? Would qualifying for the quarter-finals be seen as success?

    Chelsea fan. Happy with that. We're due against Barca and the rest are winnable.

    Happy with that draw as a Gooner! Chance for redemption at Bayern and to have a go at Lyon on a wet and windy night in Borehamwood with a nostalgic trip to Lisbon thrown in!

  9. Can Chelsea break their duck?published at 11:53 BST

    Chelsea

    Will this finally be Chelsea's year in the Women's Champions League?

    Despite dominating English football, the Blues can't quite crack Europe and were heavily beaten by Barcelona in the semi-finals last season.

    Sonia Bompastor's side come into the competition as domestic treble winners and will be among the favourites to lift the trophy.

    No return Arsenal for Lia Walti but PSG goalkeeper Mary Earps will take on former club Manchester United.

  11. Can Arsenal do it again?published at 11:50 BST

    Arsenal

    Defending champions Arsenal shocked the world when they lifted their second European crown in May.

    They now come into the competition as one of the most fancied sides to reign supreme again after adding to their already talented squad.
