Peamount draw PSG in last 32
Credit:
Peamount United will face Paris Saint Germain in the round of 32 of the Women's Champions League. Should they upset PSG, either 1.FFC Frankfurt or Norway's Stabaek await them in the last 16.
PSG finished second in the French top flight last season- only beaten to the title by European champions Olimpique Lyonnais. The Parisians were also French Cup winners in 2010. PSG have a squad littered with French internationals and also including Brazillian national team striker Katia.
Rayo Vallecano topped Peamount's group and were seeded for today's draw. They will face PK-35 Vantaa of Finland in the round of 32. Scottish side Glasgow City will face Valur of Reykjavik, while Bristol City and Arsenal will play Energiya Voronezh of Russia and FC Bobruichanka of Belarus repectively.
Rayo could face Arsenal if they progress, while Bristol City will face either FC Twente of Holland or FC Rossiyanska. Glasgow City can look forward to a last 16 tie against 2011 finalists Turbine Potsdam.
Last year's winners Olimpique Lyonnais were drawn against Romanian side Olimpia Cluj-Napoca.
Peas opened their Champions League campaign by losing narrowly to Spanish side Rayo Vallecano. They then emphatically dispatched their Slovenian hosts ZNK Krka 7-0 before sealing their progression from the group stage with a 5-1 win over Finnish side Parnu.
The games will take place in the 28/29 September and 5/6 October.
