Two titans are battling for European glory, as three-time champion Barcelona takes on eight-time winner OL Lyonnes in Saturday’s Women’s Champions League final.
It marks the pair’s third UWCL final in the last five years. Lyonnes besting Barcelona in 2022, before the Spanish champions fired back in 2024.
“If you see Lyon vs Barca in the final, I think it’s one of the best games you can wait for,” said Lyonnes midfielder Damaris Egurrola.
“Neither team will change their game,” said Barcelona coach Pere Romeu.
“It’s a final, small details will make the difference. We will try to be as well-prepared as possible to make the most of our strengths and to try to capitalize on the slightest of weaknesses that OL Lyonnes may have.”
