    Wales international Jess Fishlock, who is on loan at the Stade de Lyon-based outfit from American side Seattle Reign, said earlier this week: "We have to make sure we play well on the night.

    "But I believe if we play to our highest level then we're a very difficult team to beat.

    "The girls are so good and so experienced they can cope with the pressure of having to win again.

    "I've come to Lyon to win a Champions League. That's what everyone wants to do here and we are confident that we can do it."

    Lyon v Chelsea (16:00 BST)

    French giants Lyon have reached seven Women's Champions League finals since 2010, winning five.

    The French side are aiming to win the competition for a fourth consecutive year and are the favourites again.

    But Chelsea are in their second semi-final, having been knocked out by Wolfsburg in each of the past three campaigns, and at this stage last season.

    But the German side can't oust Chelsea this term, because Lyon have already eliminated them.
