Trio of Canadians resume UEFA Women’s Champions League action

Kadeisha Buchanan, Jordyn Huitema and Ashley Lawrence will
​resume their 2019-20 UEFA Women’s Champions League seasons on Saturday 22
​August as the continental competition returns to action. All three members of
​Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team are in the quarter-final phase: Buchanan
​with three-time defending champions FCF Olympique Lyonnais and both Huitema and
​Lawrence with Paris Saint-Germain FC.

Buchanan and FCF Olympique Lyonnais will face FC Bayern
​Munich in Bilbao, Spain at 14.00 ET / 11.00 PT in one of four UEFA
​Quarter-final matches. Huitema, Lawrence and Paris Saint-Germain FC, meanwhile,
​will feature Arsenal FC in San Sebastian, Spain, with the kick off also at
​14.00 ET / 11.00 PT. The two winning teams from these matches will meet in the UEFA
​Semi-finals on Wednesday 26 August.

Buchanan is the first Canadian to win a UEFA Champions
​League title, in fact winning it three years in a row since she debuted with OL
​in 2017. Already this season, Buchanan has won both the league title and French Cup, with the
​domestic Cup victory on 9 August against Paris Saint-Germain FC.

Lawrence is in her third season at Paris Saint-Germain FC,
​having reached the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2017 before losing on
​kicks from the penalty mark against Buchanan and Olympique Lyonnais. Huitema is
​in her first season in France and hopes to reach the European final for the
​first time.
