Arsenal and Bayern on Benfica's path in the women's Champions League

Benfica, the Portuguese women's football champions, learned their opponents in the Women's Champions League league phase. The two rivals considered theoretically most complicated are Arsenal, the competition's double champions, and Bayern Munich, a semifinalist in the 2025/26 edition. The draw placed the Portuguese champions in a group that includes these two teams of high European level. This will be Benfica's second participation in the league phase of the main European women's club competition.
