THE Women’s Champions League returns tonight with Manchester City back in the tournament and Barcelona looking to defend their title with a revamped squad.

Barcelona’s defence will include hosting Arsenal in a rematch of the 2025 final won by the London club.

The league phase, in its second year, begins this evening with 18 teams competing over six match-days. The top four advance directly to the quarter-finals and the clubs finishing between fifth and 12th compete in knockout phase play-offs in February.
