FC Barcelona – Olympique Lyon 2:0 (0:0)
The FC Barcelona women’s football team have defended their Champions League title. In the final in Bilbao, the Spanish women beat the record winners from Lyon 2-0 (0-0). For FC Barcelona, this is the third Champions League win overall and the second title in a row. Lyon had previously won the title eight times.
FC Barcelona dominated the match in the first half and throughout the game. Olympique Lyon, however, repeatedly had dangerous scoring opportunities, especially from set pieces. In the second half, World Footballer Aitana Bonmatí took the lead in the 63rd minute. After a one-two, she took a shot from the near post, which was slightly deflected and therefore unstoppable. Alexia Putellas finally decided the final with her goal in the 5th minute of stoppage time. Lyon’s three German players Sara Däbritz (ankle surgery), Olympic champion Dzsenifer Marozsán (not a regular) and Laura Benkarth (substitute goalkeeper) did not play.
Barcelona’s Revenge
With the final victory, Barcelona took revenge for the surprise defeat in the 2022 final in Turin against Olympique. Lyon had won all four previous duels, including the 2022 final (3-1) and the 2019 final (4-1). Barcelona, meanwhile, can celebrate the treble after winning the championship and the national cup. Lyon are champions and cup winners in France.
Last year, the Spanish world club Barcelona won the final 3-2 against VfL Wolfsburg. Alexandra Popp’s team and FC Bayern Munich missed the quarter-finals this year.
