Goals from Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas sealed victory against Lyon.
AITANA BONMATI AND Alexia Putellas struck to earn Barcelona their third women’s Champions League trophy, securing a 2-0 triumph over record eight-time winners Lyon on Saturday.
Securing their third Champions League trophy from five final appearances across the last six seasons, Barcelona demonstrated that they are the new powerhouse of the women’s game. Advertisement “It’s the first time we’ve beaten Lyon, I’m proud of the team, and we know that with these fans we have, we can’t fail,” Bonmati told DAZN.
Lyon left Ada Hegerberg on the bench too, with the all-time top scorer in the competition’s history struggling for form after injury. Barca threatened increasingly at the other end. Patri Guijarro, who scored twice in last year’s final against Wolfsburg, broke in behind for their first big chance after half an hour.
