In the group stages of the Women's European Championship, Lyon will face off against a team from north London.

They reached the quarter-finals of the competition last season and will be looking to build on that this time around.

Two-time runners-up Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Albanian outfit Vllaznia were drawn against each other in the group stage of the European Championship.

The Blues won the Women's Super League last year.

The Gunners, who won the European title in 2006/07, came through a tough two-legged affair against Ajax, with Miedema scoring the crucial second-leg goal in Amsterdam that secured a 3-2 victory on aggregate.

It is a difficult group. She has lost count of the amount of medals Lyon have.

Joe Montemurro was the manager of the women's team at the time and they've had a lot of success in the past couple of years in the European competition.

You don't want to see Lyon in that group, but we are in it to win it. It's a huge challenge but we're prepared for it as well.
