Manchester City’s loss was Europe’s gain when three of England’s European champions made moves abroad in the summer.

Georgia Stanway signed for Bayern Munich while Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze joined Spanish champions Barcelona.

While City were knocked out of the Champions League in the qualifying stage, Barca and Bayern have both made it to the last eight.

Stanway’s side have drawn Arsenal in the quarters, with the first leg taking place on Tuesday before the second leg at the Emirates on March 29.

The midfielder has quickly become a fan favourite in Munich, despite singing England’s Euro 2022 song Sweet Caroline in her initiation song in front of several German internationals - who were beaten by the Lionesses in the final.

‘Still now I can say it's the best decision I've ever made,’ Stanway told ITV last month.

‘Moving here was a big change in life, a big change in football but I couldn't be happier, I feel like I'm in such a good place.

‘I knew straight away that this was where I wanted to be, where I felt at home, this was where I could be my best person and footballer.’

While she has played in a slightly deeper role for the German side, Stanway has an impressive goal record with seven in 25 games in all competitions - including three in the Champions League. She has also racked up six assists.

Notably, she has also picked up several yellow cards - six in the Frauen Bundesliga and one in Europe. Stanway even joked that her goal for 2023 was to not get any more bookings - a resolution she broke in her first game back.

The midfield battle between Bayern and Arsenal will be intriguing, with Kim Little the player who will be trying to pull the strings for the English side and Stanway likely to be tasked with stopping her.

On the other side of the draw, Walsh and Bronze face Italian side Roma in the quarter-final of the Champions League and will take on the winners of Chelsea v Lyon in the semis, should they progress.
