From the history makers to the quadruple chasers, meet the eight teams left in the Women's Champions League as the competition returns for the quarter-finals.

Chelsea are the last English team standing as they attempt to win the last remaining trophy missing from their cabinet during Emma Hayes' decorated time in charge.

BBC Sport takes a look at the teams left in the competition as they bid to reach this year's final at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao on Saturday 25 May.There are just a couple of months left before Hayes' trophy-laden 12-year stint as Chelsea manager comes to an end - and the soon-to-be United States boss is determined to go out on a high.

Chelsea lost to Barcelona in the semi-finals last season but to get there again will have to get past an Ajax side who overcame the odds to progress from a group also featuring Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain and Roma. After being knocked out on penalties by Chelsea in the quarter-finals last season, the French champions will be aiming to go considerably further as they try to reclaim the trophy they last won in 2021-22.

The Lisbon-based side are the first Portuguese club to make it through to the last eight and, if their group stage games showed anything, it is that Benfica games tend to bring drama. France striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto led the way for PSG in the group, scoring four goals, but is far from the only threat.
