Are they the new women to beat in European football? In the exceptional absence of the Lyon ogre in the last four, FC Barcelona won its second Champions League this Saturday in 3 seasons, and as many finals. To achieve this, they had to devote themselves to a very Barcelona practice: the Reassembledthey who were trailing by 2 goals against VfL Wolfsburg and who ended up winning 3-2.
However, Stephan Lerch’s daughters had done everything well at the start of the match at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, quickly putting the Blaugranas under pressure with the opening of the score of Pajor (0-1, 3rd). Cold and efficient, they perfectly managed the onslaught of dominating Barcelona in the first period before doubling the bet by the inevitable Alexandra Popp (0-2, 37th).
But the steam of this match ended up being reversed, over the opportunities and offensive situations for the players of Jonathan Giráldez, without the double-Ballon d’Or Alexia Putellas at kick-off. It only took 2 minutes for the counters to be reset thanks to a woman: Patricia Guijarro, author of a double (48th, 50th) to put the two teams equal.
20 minutes from time, the Germans cracked one last time and it was Sweden’s Fridolina Rolfö who scored the crowning goal for Barça (3-2, 70th). Despite a choppy end to the match marked by the entry of Putellas to a standing ovation from the public, it was Barça who added a new line to their list. Already champions in 2021, they missed the double last season, beaten by OL.
