Olympique Lyonnais is already celebrating its eighth championship in the Women’s Champions League. It returned as the winner after a year’s break when last year’s opponent Barcelona took the championship.
Olympique Lyonnais won the Barcelona 3-1 in the Women’s Champions League final, and Lyon, who was in the final for the tenth time, won her eighth championship.
Barcelona, who won the Champions League last season, has also gone from victory to victory this season and dominated the duo’s previous encounters, making it a pre-final for the final. Lyon didn’t care about the preconceived notions, as it loaded three goals in the first half of the hour and defended the second half so effectively that Barcelona could only score one narrowing goal.
The match had only expired in six minutes as the midfielder Amadine Henry fought for the ball and scored a hands-free shot. Great match after 23 minutes Ada Hegerberg pushed for a second hit for Lyon, finishing his 59th Champions League goal in 60 matches. And it didn’t take more than ten minutes after that Catarina Macario finished the Hegerberg feed 3-0.
Captain of Barcelona Alexia Putellas showed his teammates and reduced the score to 1 to 3 before half-time, but no more goals were seen in the match.
Of course, there were situations, as in the second half Barcelona reluctantly applied for a narrowing goal, but could not get closer to the crossbar. Head coach of Lyon Sonia Bompastor had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks.
The main judge of the match was a Finn Lina Lehtovaara, which was enough to work, especially in the second half. Lehtovaara had to deal three Lyon players and two Barcelona yellow cards. Also the coach of Barcelona Jonathan Giraldez received a yellow card.
There were 32,257 spectators in the final in Turin.
