We joined Shades of Blue, the internet's finest Manchester City FC podcast, to talk about the UEFA Women's Champions League. There's obviously a fair amount of MCFC discussion here, but we talk about several other teams in the tournament, as well.

We covered a lot of ground from what happened in Round 1 of qualifying to the draw for Round 2, so here are the highlights:

• Manchester City drew Paris FC, and the City fans on the show are not psyched about it because Paris FC is very good
• Arsenal drew BK Häcken, and Dino's not thrilled with it because BK Häcken is very good!
• This tournament is tough, and it's normal for excellent teams to be knocked out before reaching the group stage
• When discussing Ajax, Grant foolishly said Lily Yohannes was born in "Maryland" before correcting himself and correctly saying she was born in Virginia (Sorry, Lily, Dan, and the whole Yohannes squad)
• Juventus and PSG is going to be a great set of ties: Can Mary Earps make the difference?
• Wolfsburg vs. Fiorentina should be a good battle
• And much more!
