Two of the United States Women’s National Team stars will face each other in the semifinals of the women’s UEFA Champions League competition.

This past year a handful of American soccer stars ventured out of the National Women’s Soccer League to play in Europe. Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd were two such players that landed contracts from European clubs, and now they will face each other in the most prestigious women’s club tournament in the world.

Morgan plays for Olympique Lyonnais in the Feminine Division 1, which is the French top flight for women’s soccer. Lyon is one of the most decorated women’s clubs in Europe and is the defending Champions League title holders.

More recently, Morgan has been seeing an increase in playing time after an illness kept her out of the lineup. She played in both legs of the quarterfinals as Lyon edged out Wolfsburg to advance. The forward found good form in March, scoring five goals, including a hat-trick in a French Cup match.

Llyod is right across the English Channel playing for Manchester City. She scored the match-winning goal against Fortuna Hjørring (Denmark) in City’s first leg quarterfinal matchup. The club’s domestic season has yet to get underway as their first match is scheduled for April 24 against Chelsea.

The semifinals of the Champions League are set for the end of April. Matchdays have not been finalized yet, as the opening led could take place on April 22 or 23, with the second leg occurring either on April 29 or 30.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are the two other semifinalists in the tournament.

Both Morgan and Llyod were named to the 24-player roster for the pair of friendlies against Russia at the beginning of the month. In June, they are expected to reunite with their NWSL clubs, as the season will already be in full swing.
