Women's Champions League
St. Pölten face Barcelona and ManCity
SKN St. Pölten will face defending champions FC Barcelona in the group stage of the Women's Champions League. This was the result of the draw held in Nyon on Friday.
The other opponents in Group D are English runners-up Manchester City and Hammarby IF, third in the table in the Swedish full-season championship. The Lower Austrians are in the "premier class" for the third time in a row, with the first match taking place on October 8/9.
What is possible this time?
Like last year, Austria's serial champions were drawn from the third pot. In 2023/24, they had even speculated about reaching the quarter-finals due to a draw that was feasible on paper, but then failed to get beyond a point in a 0-0 home draw against Slavia Prague. Olympique Lyon (14) and Brann Bergen (13) advanced, while Slavia (5) were also eliminated.
SKN's best points haul therefore came in their debut season, when they finished third in the group behind VfL Wolfsburg (14) and AS Roma (13) and ahead of the Czech side (2) with four points thanks to a 1-0 away win and a 1-1 home draw against Slavia.
