There were 91,553 spectators at the Camp Nou, a new world record for a women’s football match, and the Catalans kept the suspense going for 48 minutes, time for the real Madrid to arrive at 1-1 at the break then to lead 2-1 for a few minutes, on a sumptuous lob.
Barcelona, defending champions, then accelerated and added four goals to the addition of this gala match which confirms the status of the future champions of Spain, still as favorites on the continental scene.

A little later, in front of 27,262 spectators, a new record for women’s PSG at the Parc des Princesses, the Parisians first seemed to secure the blow against Bayern players reduced by seven cases of coronavirus, a goal from Kumagai (19th ) having responded to the opening of the score by Baltimore (17th).
When Bühl’s shot, deflected by Schüller (54th), gave Bayern the advantage, the two teams returned to perfect equality: 3-3 after the 2-1 Parisian first leg.
Half an hour remained and there were still a handful of chances, for Katoto on the Paris side, Bühl and Magull on the Bayern side, but none ended in the bottom.
