Super Falcons star Nnadozie to face Chelsea's Lauren James in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie will come up against some of the best teams in Europe after her Paris FC side drew Real Madrid and Chelsea in the group stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League. 

The Nigerian star put in sensational performances during the qualifying rounds of the Champions League to help Paris FC past Arsenal and last season’s UWCL finalists Wolfsburg. 

Nnadozie saved penalties in games against both Arsenal and Wolfsburg to help Paris FC, and was the hero of both ties, taking the Blues to an unprecedented European berth. 

Paris FC’s reward for a stellar qualifying series will be a tough group phase against Real Madrid, 2021 finalists Chelsea, and Swedish BK Hacken. 

In other group pairings, another Super Falcons icon, Asisat Oshoala, and her Barcelona side will defend their 2023 crown against Rosengard, Benfica, and Eintracht Frankfurt. 

Bayern Munich and Paris headline the group of death, Group C, which also features Roma and Ajax. 

Title favourites Lyon are in Group B and will play against Slavia Prague, St. Polten, and Brann. 

Paris FC will face a daunting task to qualify for the second round, but with Nnadozie’s form, they will believe that there is no challenge that they cannot surmount.
