The Blues make the trip to southern Europe aiming to get our group stage campaign off to a good start with a positive result at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano, a venue we visited at the same stage of last year’s competition, when Guro Reiten’s spot-kick earned us a valuable point.

In the reverse fixture at Kingsmeadow, goals from Sophie Ingle and Erin Cuthbert helped us to a 2-0 victory on home soil. This time around, we have been placed in Group D with BK Hacken of Sweden, France's Paris FC and Real Madrid, who stand in our way on matchday one.
