FC Barcelona Women Win Champions League Title for Third Time

Great jubilation in Spain. The FC Barcelona players have secured the Champions League title.

The women of FC Barcelona have secured the Champions League title for the third time. In a thrilling final against Olympique Lyon, they ended up winning 2-0. The golden goals were scored by world-class players Aitana Bonmati (63′) and Alexia Putellas (90′).

There was great concern for the Spaniard Ona Batlle. In the 78th minute, she was hit in the face with the heel of her opponent and was bleeding heavily from her face, with a cut under her left eye. After a minute-long interruption, Batlle was able to continue playing with a plaster.

In the rematch of the 2019 and 2022 finals, which Lyon won, the super teams of the past few years had an evenly matched first half. As expected, Barça had more possession after the break, and the French record champions remained dangerous, especially through set pieces. But then the two world champions Bonmati and Putellas struck.

The Bundesliga clubs all failed early in this season’s top division. Last year’s finalists VfL Wolfsburg were eliminated in the qualification phase, while Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt were eliminated after the group phase.
