Barcelona are favourites to defend their Women’s Champions League title as the group stages of the tournament kick off this week.
The Spanish side came from two goals down to defeat Wolsfburg in a thrilling final last season in Eindhoven.
There have already been several big upsets before the start of the group stage, with Wolfsburg, Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus all knocked out in qualifying.
But the likes of Chelsea, Lyon, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will be out to stop Barcelona from winning a third title in four seasons.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the start of the new Women’s Champions League season.
How can I watch it?
