Lionesses Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze are European champions as Barcelona secured their third Champions League title with a 2-0 victory over Lyon in Bilbao.
The highly anticipated final featured reigning champions Barcelona against the record Champions League winners Lyon, who came close to scoring when Lucy Bronze accidentally hit her own goalpost.
After that tense moment, the Blaugrana began to assert their dominance, with Patri Guijarro and Caroline Graham Hansen posing significant threats in the first half.
The 2023 Ballon D'Or winner Aitana Bonmati broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute, calmly slotting home after a precise pass from Maria Caldentey.
Any Lyon's hopes of a late comeback ended when substitute Alexia Putellas scored her third goal in a Champions League final, firing the ball into the top of the net
The final whistle ignited celebrations among the Catalonians, as they celebrated a phenomenal quadruple, adding the Champions League trophy to their Liga F title, Copa de la Reina, and Spanish Super Cup victories.
