Barcelona vs Lyon: Women's Champions League final preview
Barcelona have reached the final of the Women’s Champions League for the sixth consecutive season – a remarkable achievement. They booked their place in the showpiece by defeating Bayern Munich 5-3 on aggregate.
Lyon, meanwhile, overturned a first-leg deficit to reigning champions Arsenal in the semi-final to come out on top and return to the final, after missing out last year.
This will be the fourth time in the last eight years that Barcelona and Lyon have met in the final. Lyon came out on top in 2019 and 2022, while Barcelona claimed victory most recently in 2024.
At least one of these two sides has featured in every final since 2016. Barcelona are three-time champions, while Lyon remain the competition’s most successful club, having lifted the trophy on eight occasions.
It should be a spectacular match up as both teams look to get their names on the trophy again.
