OL have returned to the roof of Europe.
This Saturday, the most successful club on the European scene won the 8th Women's Champions League in its history by dominating FC Barcelona 3-1 in Turin.
Sonia Bompastor's players succeed their evening opponent who won against Chelsea last season (4-0) to win their first title in the competition.
Defending champions, the Blaugrana did not exist this Saturday.
In the usual lair of Juventus Turin, the Lyon triumph took shape from the first half hour.
It only took 6 minutes for Amandine Henry to unleash a perfectly placed surgical strike into the left corner of Sandra Paños.
The beginning of a long way of the cross for the Barcelona women.
Norwegian Ada Hegerberg took advantage of a fine cross from Selma Bacha in the 23rd to score her 57th goal in the Champions League and consolidate her position as number 1 in this area.
Before Catarina Macario worsens the score, totally lonely at the far post (33rd).
8 titles and 10 finals in 12 years
We then headed for a tricolor recital but the burst of Catalan pride finally arrived.
And it was the work of the Golden Ball, Alexia Putellas, with a nice volley from the right at the penalty spot (41st).
In the second half, Jonatan Giraldez's players rocked the Lyon rearguard but Wendie Renard's teammates did not sink.
As in 2019, OL deprived Barça of the title and won an 8th crown in 10 finals played since 2011.
However, this 8th continental trophy is not synonymous with the end of the season for OL.
Sonia Bompastor's troupe will try next Sunday to win a 15th national title.
To achieve this, they will only need a draw at Jean-Bouin against PSG.
