It was the end of the dream, on paper. The number one in Europe is challenged by the number two, the two-time winners demanding the six-time champions. And even if it was finally close; the favorites finally deserved to prevail. Why Lyon I was also without a world footballer Ada Hegerberg (Cruciate ligament tear) in a class of its own.

Eugenie Le Sommer (22.) and the Japanese Saki kumagai (44.) brought the fifth consecutive Champions League win on the track. After the change, Wolfsburg passed with the connecting goal Alexandra popp (58th) exciting, former Wolfsburg Björk Gunnarsdottir but he made the decision (88th). For the goalkeeper Sarah bouhaddi and defense “giant” Wendie Renard was the seventh title in her ninth final appearances, which alone shows the superiority of French women in Europe: since 2018 there have been no more defeats.
