Barcelona vs Lyon: Lyon wins the UEFA Women's Champions League
Barcelona came up short in their attempt to retain their Women's Champions League title as they were defeated 3-1 by Lyon in the final on Sunday.
Lyon's victory means that they have now won the competition a record eight times, while Barcelona remain on seven titles.
The match was played in front of a sell-out crowd at Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy. Lyon took the lead in the first half through Amandine Henry, and they doubled their advantage in the second half through Catarina Macario.
Barcelona pulled a goal back through Alexia Putellas, but Lyon held on to secure the victory thanks to a late goal from Ada Hegerberg.
The defeat was a disappointing end to the season for Barcelona, who had been hoping to win the treble. However, they can still take pride in their achievements this season, having won the Primera Division and the Copa de la Reina.
For Lyon, the victory was a fitting way to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a club. They are now the most successful team in the history of the Women's Champions League, and they will be hoping to continue their dominance in the years to come.
