The Parisiennes begin their European campaign in Jean-Bouin, a week before the return leg in Gothenburg, with the objective of joining the group stage of the C1 where Olympique Lyonnais awaits them, defending champion directly qualified after being reassembled, at the end of May, on the throne of France.

Facing the Swedes, the capital club is the favorite with its cohort of stars, from Grace Geyoro to Kadidiatou Diani via Sakina Karchaoui, all scorers on Saturday in Rodez (4-0) in the league.

The two Dutch recruits, Lieke Martens and Jackie Groenen, add glitter to the Parisian workforce.

However, all eyes will be on Bouhaddi, 35, former OL goalkeeper, whom she left after thirteen years to join the Parisian rival on Friday in search of playing time.

Wednesday against Häcken, the Frenchwoman with 149 caps could appear on the match sheet for the first time, without necessarily being there as a starter.

The competition from his compatriot Constance Picaud and the Australian Lydia Williams, aligned this weekend, does not guarantee him N.1 status.

His experience and his charisma will however count in the approach to this first ax match against the Yellows and Blacks of Gothenburg, whose best known face is that of Andrine Hegerberg, sister of Ada, who passed through Paris in 2018/2019.

Bayern Munich was overtaken by Wolfsburg last season in the Bundesliga and this also forced the German club, semi-finalist of the event in 2021, to a jump-off to climb into the group stage.

The first leg is played in Spain on Tuesday (7:00 p.m.) against Real Sociedad.

On the same day, Pauline Peyraud-Magnin's Juventus Turin travel to Denmark to face HB Koge (6:00 p.m.).

The English from Arsenal, with Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead, receive Ajax Amsterdam (8:30 p.m.).

Wednesday (6:00 p.m.), Real Madrid and its French Sandie Toletti travel to Norway to challenge Rosenborg.
