PARIS, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Paris Saint-Germain featuring Chinese player Wang Shuang set up their quarterfinal clash with Chelsea in the 2018-19 UEFA Women's Champions League after the drawing ceremony was held on Friday.

PSG had eliminated Swedish outfit Linkoping 5-2 on aggregate in round of 16, with Wang notching her first Champions League goal in the first leg.

PSG have registered their best performance in the Champions League by reaching the final in 2014-15 and 2016-17. They are the last team to have knocked powerhouse Lyon out of the competition when they met in the 2014-15 round of 16.

Chelsea saw their best record in the competition last term by making into the semifinals.

The winner will face either defending champions Lyon or Wolfsburg in the semifinals. Lyon and Wolfsburg are set to replicate their last season's finale.

In the other half, Slavia Praha of the Czech Republic will face Bayern Munchen, while Barcelona contend with Norwegian club LSK Kvinner for a semifinal spot.

The competition will witness a new finalist as none of Slavia, Bayern, Barcelona or LSK have done that before.

The quarterfinals will be played late in March, 2019, with the semifinals in April and final on May 18, 2019 in Budapest. Enditem
