Barcelona Beat Bayern 4-2 To Reach Sixth Straight UWCL Final Against Giráldez’s Lyon

The final pits Barcelona’s current standard against Lyon’s pedigree under a familiar tactician.

Overview

  • Barcelona won 4-2 at Camp Nou to take the tie 5-3 on aggregate and booked a Champions League final in Oslo on May 23 against Lyon.
  • Alexia Putellas scored twice and now leads this season’s competition with 14 goal contributions, while lifting her Barça tally to 233 goals.
  • Aitana Bonmatí returned from a broken leg with a late cameo, giving Barcelona a key midfield boost ahead of the final.
  • Bayern staged a strong late push as Pernille Harder scored, the visitors hit the bar twice, had one goal ruled out, and forced several saves from Cata Coll.
  • Uncertainty hangs over parts of Barcelona’s squad with key contracts up this summer, including Putellas’ deal with no renewal announced.
