Barcelona's women's team, FC Barcelona Femení, has won the UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) final, defeating Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday at 6pm CEST. This victory marks their third UWCL title in four years and their first win against Lyon, who had previously never lost to Barcelona. The match, held in Bilbao, saw key performances from Aitana Bonmati, whose deflected shot gave Barcelona the lead 20 minutes before the end, and Alexia Putellas, who sealed the game with a decisive goal. This win also signifies a historic season for Barcelona, as they achieved a quadruple for the first time in their history. The success of Barcelona's women's team has transformed the city and the broader region of Catalonia into a global hub for women's soccer. Despite the loss, Lyon, the most successful club in women's soccer with eight UWCL titles, vows to come back stronger with new investments. UEFA has celebrated the growth of women's soccer, highlighting the significance of this achievement.
