FC Barcelona are just two matches away from making history. Xavi Llorens' side have never made it as far as the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League. They had their best run in the competition last year, but a late PSG goal saw the Blaugranas miss out on a place in the semi-finals. Having eliminated Twente, just as they did last year, Barcelona will now face Rosengard, with the first leg in Sweden (22/23 March) and the return fixture in Barcelona (29/30 March).

The Swedish side reached the semi-finals back in 2003, their best performance to date. Rosengard knocked out Slavia Prague to qualify for this season's quarter-finals. Brazilian legend Marta is the Swedish team's star player and the winner of this tie will face either Bayern Munich or PSG.
