Barcelona secured their fourth UEFA Women's Champions League title with a commanding 4-0 victory over OL Lyonnes. Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo both scored twice as the Spanish champions completed the quadruple for the second time in three years. The emphatic win demonstrated Barcelona's dominance in European women's football.

Alexia Putellas, instrumental in Barcelona's success this season, faces an uncertain future with her contract expiring this summer. Despite interest from England, the United States and Mexico, the 32-year-old remained cryptic about her plans, telling reporters simply: "You will see soon." Sources indicate Barcelona wants to extend her deal which includes an option for an additional year.

Ewa Pajor finally lifted the trophy after appearing in six Champions League finals, scoring twice to earn Player of the Match honors. Cata Coll's crucial saves throughout the match provided the foundation for Barcelona's victory. "We have won everything after a difficult year," Coll stated defiantly in response to critics who questioned their reduced spending approach.
