Arsenal draw Wolfsburg in Champions League quarter-finals with winners facing tricky Barcelona or Real Madrid duel

ARSENAL will battle it out with Wolfsburg for a spot in the Champions League semis this term.

The first leg of the knockout tie between the WSL leaders and the German giants will take place at Arsenal’s home on March 22 or 23 next year.

And the away leg between the rivals is due to be held on March 30 or 31.

Arsenal, who are currently the only English side to have won a Champions League title, have lost four of their most recent encounters with Wolfsburg.

The German team, who won the title three times, knocked the Gunners out of the 2012-13 contest before going on to win it.

The victors of the duel between Jonas Eidevall’s side and the Women’s Bundesliga leaders will face Barcelona or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Before then the Catalan giants will go head-to-head to with domestic rivals Real for a place in the Champions League final eight.

And the Johan Cruyff Stadium club have already beaten Madrid once this term, in a 3-1 away win in Spain’s top tier.

And they will be the only side representing the WSL following Chelsea’s group-stage exit after a 4-0 loss to Wolfsburg.

Other teams vying for a semi-final spot include Bayern Munich, Juventus, Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain.

Juve, who are managed by ex-Gunners chief Joe Montemurro, are facing a tough quarters fight with seven-time contest winners Lyon.

The victors of that tie will go up against French champions PSG or German title-holders Bayern Munich.

While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics.

Image
Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini...
