Barcelona and Lyon, arguably the two finest teams in women’s European club football, face off in the final of the 2023/24 UEFA Women’s Champions League.
These teams met in this fixture back in 2022, when the French club emerged as 3-1 winners to deny Barca their second consecutive European title. However, the Catalans defeated Wolfsburg in last year’s showpiece to underline their credentials as the best club side in the world.
Lyon are the most successful team in the competition’s history and, like Barca, have dominated their domestic league in 2023/24. They overcame French rivals Paris Saint-Germain at the semifinal stage to secure their place in today’s final.
Barca won an engrossing semifinal against Emma Hayes’ Chelsea and, after a season in which they have only failed to win three matches in all competitions, they come into this game at San Mames as the favourites.
