Häcken was the only Swedish team on the women's side to advance to the group stage in the Champions League.

This after beating Vålerenga in the last qualifying round.

At lunchtime on Monday, the four groups were drawn where it could be stated that bowl number one only contained real giants: Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

"Strong teams"

Häcken ended up in the same group as the German champions Bayern Munich, French Lyon and Portuguese, Benfica.

- A very fun group with tough resistance.

It will be great fun to meet these great teams in Europe.

Lyon and Bayern Munich are both strong teams.

Bayern has only gotten better and better over the years and Lyon has dominated for many years in Europe and won the Champions League as well, says Häcken's coach Mats Gren to SVT Sport.

How does Häcken stand against this opposition?

- We will of course go out and believe in this when we play our matches.

We will not be favorites against either Bayern Munich or Lyon but they will have to work really hard to beat us.

"Will be a challenge"

Häcken's 24-year-old midfielder, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, is looking forward to the adventure that awaits in the Champions League.

- It will be great fun to face such good resistance.

It will be a challenge of course as Bayern and Lyon are two really good teams.

It will be incredible to try to play against them, says Rytting Kaneryd to SVT Sport and continues:

- Regardless of what resistance we had received, we knew that it would be tough matches.

Then, of course, it could have been easier "on paper", but it will be fun.
