Chelsea have been drawn against Real Madrid and Arsenal's conquerors Paris FC in the Women's Champions League group stage.

Eight-times winners Lyon face Slavia Prague, St Polten and Brann - who beat Scottish champions Glasgow City to reach this stage for the first time.

Reigning champions Barcelona were paired with Rosengard, Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt.
