The Women’s Champions League enters its decisive phase, after knowing the eight qualified teams in the first part of the competition for the quarterfinals. Among them, of course, is Barcelona, a great candidate to win the title again, even more so considering that the grand final is in San Mamés on May 25.
Barça, for now, is waiting for an opponent, who will be a second-place finisher, after another immaculate group stage. For it, a draw is necessary that will also define the paths for the semi-finals and the final.
When is it held and where to watch the Women’s Champions League draw online
The draw for the quarterfinals, semifinals and final of the Women’s Champions League will be held on February 6 starting at 1:00 p.m. from Nyon, UEFA headquarters. The European organization will broadcast the draw signal through its official channels. It will also be offered by DAZN, owner of the audiovisual rights of the competition in Spain. As always, Relevo will follow what happens minute by minute.
What are the rules of the UEFA Women’s Champions League draw?
The draw for the Champions League will already define the entire path of the teams towards the grand final in San Mamés. The teams that closed the group stage in first position will face those that finished in second place in the quarterfinals..
As always, the only restriction is that two teams that have already competed in the same group cannot face each other. But those from the same country do. That is to say, PSG and Lyon can meet in this tiebut Lyon itself will not be able to play against Brann.
All pairings, since there is no territorial restriction, are equally probable. For example, Ajax has a 33.3% chance of facing Häcken, another 33.3% of facing Brann and another 33.3% of facing Benfica. Of course, the first teams will play the second leg of the quarterfinals at home.
Furthermore, UEFA has decided to draw lots for the remainder of the competition in this same ceremony. The procedure will be as follows. First, the four pairings will be decided. Subsequently, four balls will be taken from another pot, with each of the previously defined duels (1, 2, 3 and 4) and crossed.
The winner of the pairing that comes first in the semi-final draw will be the one that plays the first leg at home and the second leg as a visitor. In this way, those awarded with the field factor will be those whose name comes in second place. The same procedure with the final which, being a neutral venue, is anecdotal.
