A year after giving up their crown, Olympique Lyonnais is once again on top of Europe. Saturday May 21 in Turin, in a white-hot Allianz Stadium, Sonia Bompastor’s players won their 8th Champions League title against Barcelona (3-1). Three years after the correction inflicted on the Catalans in the C1 final (4-1), Wendie Renard’s teammates did not go far from inflicting the same addition on those of the Ballon d’Or Alexia Putellas, who lost for the fourth time in four games against Lyonnaises in the competition.
Put into orbit by a sublime strike from Amandine Henry from the 5th minute (1-0, 5th), the Fenottes then put an end to the highlight of their opponents after the quarter of an hour of play. Perfectly served by Selma Bacha, the top scorer in the history of the Champions League, Ada Hegerberg, did not miss the lead to score the break goal (2-0, 23rd). Ten minutes later, it was again the Norwegian who offered a caviar to Catarina Macario for the 3-0 goal (33rd). The reduction in the score of the Blaugrana captain Alexia Putellas shortly before the break (3-1, 41st) did not come to seize up the Lyon machine. The reconquest operation is a convincing success for the Fenottes, once again queens in their continental kingdom.
