Barcelona won the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the fourth time after a dominant second-half display carried the Spanish club to a 4-0 victory over OL Lyonnes at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway.

Ewa Pajor broke open a closely contested final with two goals before Salma Paralluelo added a late double. The result returned Barcelona to the summit of European club football following their defeat by Arsenal in the previous season’s final. It also gave manager Pere Romeu his first Champions League title in charge of the team. [12875][12876]

Lyonnes created the more dangerous opportunities during parts of the opening half. Barcelona goalkeeper Cata Coll saved a header from Lyon captain Wendie Renard, but Lindsey Heaps converted the rebound. A video assistant referee review ruled out the goal for offside. Coll also kept out a threatening free-kick from Selma Bacha, while Pajor sent an attempted finish wide after lifting the ball beyond goalkeeper Christiane Endler. [12875]

The breakthrough arrived in the 55th minute. Pajor collected a pass from Patri Guijarro, moved away from defender Ingrid Engen and directed a low left-footed shot across Endler into the far corner. Lyonnes had further chances to respond, but Coll denied Vicki Becho and stopped Tabitha Chawinga in a one-on-one situation. [12875][12876]

Pajor doubled Barcelona’s advantage 14 minutes after her opening goal, finishing from close range following a cross by Paralluelo. The Poland striker’s two goals raised her tournament total to 11, taking her past Arsenal forward Alessia Russo and securing the competition’s top-scorer distinction. Pajor had previously finished on the losing side in five Champions League finals, four with Wolfsburg and one with Barcelona. [12875][12876]

Paralluelo turned the win into an emphatic one during the closing minutes. She struck from outside the penalty area in the 90th minute and scored again in added time after Pajor supplied the pass. The two forwards therefore accounted for all four goals, with Pajor also providing an assist. [12875]

The victory delivered Barcelona’s fourth Champions League crown in six seasons and came in the club’s sixth consecutive appearance in the final. Romeu prevailed against Lyonnes coach Jonatan Giráldez, his predecessor at Barcelona. Lyonnes, eight-time European champions, had been seeking their first continental title since 2022. [12875][12876]

The four-goal margin reflected Barcelona’s clinical finishing after the interval, although Lyonnes had remained competitive and produced opportunities before falling behind. Barcelona ultimately converted the decisive moments, while Coll’s saves and the first-half offside decision prevented the French side from establishing an advantage. [12875][12876]
