The Women’s Champions League will feature three English teams for the first time this season after Chelsea were joined by Arsenal and Manchester City, who both qualified through the play-offs.

Arsenal overturned a 1-0 defeat to Hacken by winning 4-0 in the second leg while Manchester City completed a rout of Paris FC, winning 3-0 in the second leg after a 5-0 victory away from home.

Defending champions Barcelona, who defeated Lyon in last season’s final to retain their crown, with those two sides already through to the group stages, along with Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

However there was a major shock in the play-offs, with Juventus knocking out last year’s semi-finalists Paris Saint-Germain and England goalkeeper Mary Earps. Celtic booked their place with a 3-0 aggregate win over Vorskla Poltava.
