The Blues reached the Champions League final for the first time in our history last season and Emma Hayes’s side now know the teams they will come up against in the group stages of this year’s European journey after the draw took place in Nyon on Monday afternoon.

After being crowned Barclays FA Women’s Super League Champions, Chelsea was placed among the top seeds in Pot 1, alongside Champions League winners Barcelona, French league champions Paris Saint-Germain and German domestic winners Bayern Munich.

Having been allocated into Group A in the first round of picks, Chelsea were joined by Wolfsburg from Pot 2. The Blues last met the German side at the quarter-final stage of our previous Champions League campaign, and it was Hayes’s side who secured a place in the semi-finals with a 5-1 aggregate win.

From Pot 3 came Juventus. Chelsea Women have never played Juventus in a competitive fixture, but the Blues ran out 3-0 winners in a pre-season friendly against the Italian side in 2018.

Group A was completed with Servette FCCF from Pot 4 and when the Blues meet the Swiss champions, it will be the first ever fixture between the two sides.

The top two teams from each group will progress to the quarter-finals.

Chelsea Women's fixtures for Group A have now also been confirmed with the Blues set to host Wolfsburg first on Wednesday 6 October at Kingsmeadow. Their first away match will be away to Juventus the following week on Wednesday 13 October. All venues still to be confirmed.
