Champions League title holders Lyon face German opposition in FC Bayern Munich at 19:00BST on Saturday

The winner of the game will face either Arsenal or Paris Saint Germain in the semi-finals on the 26th August before a possible final on the 30th of the month.

Lyon won the D1 Feminin after the league was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, three points ahead of PSG, while FC Bayern finished second in the Frauen-Bundesliga behind VfL Wolfsburg.

Team news

Defending champions Lyon will be without star striker Ada Hegerberg, who misses the game through a knee injury. Here is the side that OL will take to the match:

Hanna Glas, Marina Hegering, Viviane Asseyi, Sarah Zadrazil and Lea Schuller have all been added to FC Bayern's side, while young striker Klara Bühl misses out due to a knee injury.

Ones to watch

Lyon - Wendie Renard

Thirty-year-old captain Renard has been a member of Olympique Lyonnais' side since 2006, making over 200 appearances for the club since then.

The 6ft 2in defender towers above many others on the pitch, and that advantage of height had led to her becoming quite a goalscoring threat from in the air. Since joining the club, she has scored a total of 115 times - an impressive feat for a defender.

Her Coupe de France victory earlier in the season was her 30th title with OL, will she be able to help make it 31 after this year's UWCL?

FC Bayern - Jovana Damnjanović

The Serbian international finished as Bayern's top scorer in the FLYERALARM Frauen-Bundesliga in the 2019/20 season, netting eleven goals across the campaign out of the 60 scored by the club.

She also scored for the club earlier in their Champions League fight, netting one against BIIK-Kazygurt in the Round of 16.
