Fourth triumph for Barcelona
The Spaniards celebrated their fourth final success after 2021, 2023 and 2024. Lyon remains the record winner with eight triumphs. The team around world footballers Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí was very effective in the final and was able to thank the outstanding goalkeeper Cata Coll.
The French were already celebrating in the 14th minute. After a free kick, Lyon’s 1.97 meter tall defender Wendie Ranard was free to head the ball. Barça goalkeeper Coll fended off the ball, but Lindsey Heaps scored to make it 1-0. However, after a VAR check, the goal was disallowed because the US international was just offside.
Lyon creates chances
The Olympique team put a lot of pressure on the favorites. Shortly before the break, Barcelona’s national goalkeeper had to stretch a lot after a free-kick shot from Selma Bacha. For the Spanish team, world footballer Aitana Bonmatí initially sat on the bench, as she did recently after her comeback after a broken fibula, but came into the game after a good 70 minutes.
After almost half an hour, Brand initiated an attack. Alexia blocked against Norway star Ada Hegerberg in desperate need. In the following scene, Brand chased the ball over the crossbar from an acute angle. The 23-year-old from the Palatinate was already in the premier class final against Barcelona (2:3) with VfL Wolfsburg in 2023, but only sat on the bench.
