"The UEFA Women's Champions League draw for the knockout phase took place on Thursday, with the top 12 teams learning their fate. If defending champions Arsenal overcome minnows OH Leuven in the playoff stage, they will face Chelsea, while the winners of VfL Wolfsburg and Juventus will take on eight-time champions OL Lyonnes. On the other side of the bracket, Manchester United were drawn against Atlético Madrid in the playoffs, before a possible game with Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals,"
"United have also been given a good draw and will be confident they can defeat Atlético Madrid, having already done so in the league phase. They will also play the fourth-seeded team, Bayern Munich, in the quarterfinal. Of all four possible quarterfinal opponents, they have probably got their preferred one. And though they are unlikely to beat Bayern, positivity will be high."
The UEFA Women's Champions League knockout draw pairs potential matchups that could produce high-profile ties. If Arsenal progress from playoffs they would meet Chelsea in the quarterfinals, and the Wolfsburg–Juventus winner would face OL Lyonnes. Manchester United were drawn to face Atlético Madrid in the playoffs and could then meet Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals. Real Madrid can face Paris FC in the playoffs and potentially meet Barcelona in a first women's UWCL El Clásico.
