UEFA Women's Champions League finals: All you need to know

Since the UEFA Women's Cup became the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2009/10, Lyon have been the dominant team, reaching 11 of the subsequent 14 finals, including the 2024 showpiece they lost to Barcelona in Bilbao.

That was the third final between the two clubs after 2019 and 2022, both won by Lyon, but the club's fortunes were reversed in 2024. Barcelona also claimed victory in 2021 and 2023, and by reaching four consecutive finals they are now within one of Lyon's record of five in a row between 2016 and 2020.
