Chelsea resume their Women’s Champions League campaign against holders Lyon in a mouthwatering quarter-final clash tonight.

Emma Hayes’ side have been dominant domestically in recent seasons but are yet to translate their success onto the European stage.

An English side has not won the Women’s Champions League since 2007 but Chelsea would become one of the favourites if they can defeat the eight-time winners.

Lyon defeated Barcelona to reclaim their European crown last season but finished second to Arsenal in Group C, following a 5-1 thrashing to the Gunners at the start of the tournament.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What did Emma Hayes say pre-match?

Emma Hayes doubts there is much to learn from Arsenal’s 5-1 demolition job of Lyon earlier this season ahead of Chelsea’s clash with the European champions.

Asked whether there was anything Chelsea could take from Arsenal’s win earlier in the season, Hayes replied: “It was a phenomenal performance from Arsenal, but we also saw Lyon go to Arsenal and win 1-0.

“We know that Lyon are a top side, earlier on in the season they were missing a lot of players, that’s not the case now, they have a lot of their experienced players back.

“There are certainly things from Arsenal’s performance that night that reminded us of some of the things that we repeated in the pre-season game against Lyon.

“But I think this is a much different game and Lyon are at a much different stage than they were earlier on in the season.”
