The 2025/26 UEFA Women’s Champions League quarterfinals are set, promising a compelling series of matchups following the conclusion of the Round of 16 ties this week. Arsenal and Manchester United continued their dominant form, securing their places alongside Real Madrid and Wolfsburg in the final eight.
Arsenal convincingly advanced, defeating OH Leuven with an aggregate score of 7-1. Manchester United also progressed comfortably, eliminating Atlético de Madrid 5-0 on aggregate. Real Madrid overcame Paris FC with a 5-2 aggregate victory, while VfL Wolfsburg secured their spot after a 2-0 win against Juventus on Thursday, following a 2-2 draw in the first leg.
The draw has created several intriguing contests. A highly anticipated clash will see Arsenal face Chelsea FC, marking the first time the two Women’s Super League powerhouses will meet in the Champions League knockout stage. Chelsea previously secured six WSL titles, setting the stage for a fierce battle between the English rivals.
Another compelling matchup pits Real Madrid against Barcelona in a rematch of the El Clásico. Manchester United will travel to Germany to face Bayern Munich, while Wolfsburg will host perennial French champions OL Lyonnes.
