Some cracking ties to look forward to

Barcelona Femeni have been drawn against Spanish rivals Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League.

The draw was made on Friday and means there is an all-Spanish tie in the last eight which should prompt plenty of interest.

The two clubs set an attendance record for women’s football in March when they met at the Wanda Metropolitano in front of a crowd of 60,739.

The winner of their quarter-final clash will go on to face Glasgow City or Wolfsburg for a place in the final.

Barcelona Femeni have never won the Women’s Champions League and were beaten finalists last season, going down 4-1 to champions Lyon.

They thrashed Atletico 6-1 back in September in the league and are currently top of the table.
