United Women play their first ever competitive European match on Tuesday night - and it's a qualifier for the group stage of the Champions League.
The structure of the Women's Champions League is still evolving. Only 16 teams are in the group stage and the draw for the qualifying round are about European competition historic performance seedings rather than on last year's domestic seasons - we knew we were odds on to get a top team.
To win a trophy in France, PSG have to beat Lyon (who've won 6 of the last 8 women's champions leagues) which is why they have one D1 title and two Coupe de France in the past ten years. In the same period in the WCL they have been losing finalists twice (to Lyon and Frankfurt) and have made the SFs for times and the QFs twice. Fair to say they've got a European pedigree and bags of experience.
They've also got one of our old players - Jackie Groenen. Chances are the fans at LSV will cheer her name when the team gets announced. Most of the women's team fans will say that she left because she wasn't a key part of the manager's plans and we didn't even try to keep her.
Match will be live on MUTV.
Some tickets are still available at:
