In the Women's Champions League quarterfinals, Chelsea will play host to Lyon, who has won the competition eight times.
Having won their respective groups, the Women's Super League teams were unable to be paired together, so Arsenal will play Bayern Munich.
In the round of eight, Barcelona, who finished second last year, will play Roma, a first-time participant, while Paris St. Germain will play Wolfsburg.
The first and second of the quarterfinal matches are on March 21 and 22, and the second and third are one week later.
While Chelsea did not advance from its Champions League group last year, it did have the best pool-stage record this year with 16 points after six games.
Arsenal will take on a Bayern team that lost to PSG at the same stage in 2021–22. Wolfsburg eliminated Arsenal from the competition in the quarterfinals last season.
The English midfielder who won the European Championship will play against a WSL team for the first time since moving to Bayern from Manchester City last year.

The winner of the Barcelona-Roma matchup will face Emma Hayes' team in the semifinals if they defeat Lyon.
That might entail speaking with England players Lucy Bronze and Kiera Walsh, who both transferred from Manchester City to the Spanish team in the summer.
In the 2021 championship game, Barcelona easily defeated Chelsea 4-0.
It would seem that the road to the final in Eindhoven on June 3 would be more difficult since the Blues' half of the draw includes the current league leaders in England, Italy, Spain, and France.
If Arsenal defeats Bayern, they will play either PSG or Wolfsburg in the semifinals. Arsenal defeated Lyon 5-1 on the road to finish ahead of the Ligue 1 team in their group.
