Real Madrid have been drawn at home to Manchester City in the most eye-catching tie of the second round of the UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL).
The final round before the group stage, it sees 24 sides drawn against each other in 12 two-legged knock-out matches, the winners joining PSG, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and reigning champions Barcelona in the pools.
Several big guns from the European women's game join the competition at this stage, and the most notable match will see English and Spanish giants go head to head.
Who will face who?
As well as Madrid and Man City, among the big names in the draw were Lyon, whose five-year reign as champions was ended last season by Barca. The seven-time winners travel to Levante.
Two-time champions Wolfsburg are against Bordeaux, while 2007 winners Arsenal face Slavia Prague. The Gunners were initally drawn against Man City, but teams from the same nation cannot meet at this stage, so their opponents were re-drawn.
Next matches
While Madrid have prestige to their name, in reality this is the first time their recently formed women's team will enter European competition, making former semi-finalists City the favourites to reach the group stage.
Among the other notable ties, Juventus - who will host the final at Allianz Stadium in Turin - take on Albanian champions Vllaznia.
