On Monday afternoon, the Blues received arguably the toughest draw of any of the members of Pot A. Hayes and Chelsea along with their English counterparts in the Champions League this season, Arsenal have to go through one challenging gauntlet in order to advance into the knockout stages. As a part of Group A, the Blues will take on two of the most ambitious clubs in women’s European football, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain along with nine-time Albanian league champions, Vllaznia.
