European History
Glasgow City has participated in four seasons of UEFA competitions; reaching the last 16 in the 2008–09 season. In the last three qualifying campaigns they have lost only twice, to German opponents on both occasions; Bayern Munich, and 2008–09 winners FCR 2001 Duisburg. In the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League they won their qualifying group and moved on to the round of 32. They then defeated Icelandic team Valur to become the first Scottish side to reach the round of 16.[6] The Round of 16 ended in "humiliating" fashion for Glasgow City, where against German champions Turbine Potsdam, they lost the tie 17–0 on aggregate.[7] The 10–0 first leg defeat in Potsdam being the only time any team in the knockout stages of the champions league have been beaten by double figures.
