Podcast By Kathryn Batte Published: 19:01 BST, 25 May 2024 | Updated: 19:33 BST, 25 May 2024 e-mail View comments Beating Lyon in a Champions League final had been about the only thing this Barcelona team had failed to do. The French side had been the powerhouse of women’s football between 2011 and 2022 - winning a record eight European trophies and twice defeating Barca in a final - 4-1 in 2019 and 3-1 in 2022. The tide had been turning, with Barca thrashing Chelsea to claim a first victory in 2021, but that defeat against Lyon in 2022 showed they still had work to do.
Even when they reclaimed their crown with a 3-2 victory against Wolfsburg last season, to have true dominance means to win again and again and again. So, it was fitting that Aitana Bonmati, the world’s best player, put Barca ahead before Alexia Putellas, the former Ballon d’Or winner, sealed the game in added time.
