Barcelona Claims Fourth Women's Champions League Title With Dominant Victory Over Lyon

FC Barcelona reclaimed the Women's Champions League crown, decisively beating French powerhouse Lyon 4-0 in Oslo to capture their fourth title. The Spanish club, who had lost the final last year, left no doubt about their superiority on Saturday.

Polish international Ewa Pajor was the standout performer, netting the crucial opening goal in the 55th minute and adding a second in the 69th. Her brace not only sealed the victory but also secured her the tournament's top scorer award with 11 goals. Salma Paralluelo added a late flourish, scoring in stoppage time to complete the rout.

This triumph cements Barcelona's status as the dominant force in European women's club football. They have now reached the last six Champions League finals, winning four of them (2021, 2023, 2024, and 2026). While Lyon remains the most decorated club with eight titles, Barcelona has won the last two encounters between these modern rivals in the final.

The victory caps a stellar season for Barcelona, who also secured a domestic treble in Spain, winning the Liga F, Copa de la Reina, and Supercopa de España. For 32-year-old coach Pere Romeu, this represents the pinnacle of his career, notably achieving it by overcoming his former mentor, Jonatan Giráldez, who now coaches Lyon.
