From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Women’s Champions League returns tonight as the knockout stages get underway. Chelsea and Arsenal represent the interests of the English Women’s Super League but face tricky tests against Lyon and Bayern Munich respectively.
Chelsea progressed to the quarter-finals as group winners but a shock 5-1 loss for Lyon on the opening matchday – to Arsenal no less – meant the current holders finished second in Group C. Chelsea must now defeat the eight-time winners to progress and set up a semi-final tie with either last year’s runners-up Barcelona or Serie A leaders Roma.
Arsenal, who trail Chelsea in the WSL title race, are in the other side of the draw and face Bayern Munich this evening. Should they get through that clash they will play either Paris Saint-Germain or German leaders Wolfsburg in the last four.
An English team has not won the Champions League since 2007 and the WSL was without a club in the semi-finals last season so the pressure is on for Chelsea and Arsenal to progress.
All of the matches are available to watch on YouTube. Here’s how you can watch:
