The reigning European champions will welcome the WSL title holders to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys for Saturday’s first leg.
Having already clinched the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona are hoping to win three more pieces of silverware before manager Jonatan Giraldez leaves in the summer to become the new head coach of NWSL side Washington Spirit.
The Catalan giants are 12 points clear at the top of the Liga F table with seven matches left to play, while they are set to face Real Sociedad in next month’s Copa de la Reina final.
They are also looking to retain their European crown after sealing their place in the semi-final with a 5-2 aggregate win over Brann in the last eight.
The two-time European champions are now targeting a repeat of last season’s 2-1 semi-final victory against Chelsea.
Barcelona have not lost a two-legged Champions League tie since they were knocked out by record winners Lyon in the 2017-18 quarter-finals, highlighting the size of the task that awaits Chelsea over the next two matches.
