Overview
- Barcelona, which beat Bayern 4-2 on Sunday to win 5-3 on aggregate, advanced to a Women’s Champions League final against Lyon in Oslo on May 23.
- Alexia Putellas scored twice to decide the second leg and climbed to 233 goals for the club, while her contract expiring this summer leaves her future unresolved.
- Aitana Bonmatí returned from a broken leg with a late appearance, giving Barcelona a timely lift before the title match.
- Bayern pushed hard late as Pernille Harder scored once, had another goal ruled out by VAR, and the visitors hit the woodwork twice.
- A sellout crowd of about 60,000 at Camp Nou highlighted the surge in interest, as the rivalry heads to a fourth final after Lyon’s wins in 2019 and 2022 and Barcelona’s in 2024.
