It was once taken for granted that Sweden would have at least one team in the quarter-finals, but Häcken are the first Damallesvenskan side to qualify since the advent of the organisational level in 2021/22. Häcken eliminated Twente in the second round (a year after losing at this level to Paris) and, denied the Swedish name by the difference of still 4 days before the start of the organizational level, won their first two matches against Paris FC and Real Madrid and one finished above them, while drawing at Chelsea.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, got off to a bad start at the organizational level by losing to Ajax and at home to Bayern. But, faced with the option of missing out on the quarter-finals for the first time since their European absence in 2017/18, Paris beat Roma twice, beat Ajax and secured a dramatic 2-2 draw at Bayern that gave them the most sensible place in the organisation.

Mak Lind, HäckenWe have tried to simulate an educational consultation where our players will have the opportunity to face conditions that we believe will occur in the game, to the point that we have brought players from the academy on the side of the boys. They have to play the role of warring parties and give our players a run for their money. They had to be able to play the game once before it was actually played. It worked great.
With the start of the Champions League, the main tactical points are even more important. We need to reassure the players that they know the situation. Then they will be able to do it in football.
Jocelyn Prêcheur, Paris We are pleased to be at this level of the festival and the organization is very focused on these quarterfinals. We are well aware of the qualities of Häcken, who has performed remarkably well at the organizational level. It’s a tough game, but we come here with ambition and we need to put ourselves in the most productive position imaginable in the first leg to be in the most productive position imaginable for the second leg at the Parc des Princes, where we hope we did. A lot of followers.
The venue for the final.
The San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao will host the final of the 2024 Women’s Champions League on Saturday, May 25 at 6 p. m.
With a capacity for more than 50,000 seats, the Athletic Club de Bilbao stadium was built on the site of the old San Mamés, replacing the centenary arena of the same event in 2013. Athletic Club’s women’s team played several matches in the new stadium, attracting 48,121 fans to a cup in 2019, against Atletico Madrid, which was then a record in Spain.
