Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo each scored twice as Barcelona defeated Lyon 4-0 to claim their fourth Women's Champions League crown in Oslo. Pajor's brace took her tournament tally to 11 goals, more than any other player this season, while Paralluelo added two spectacular strikes to complete the rout.

Lyon dominated the opening hour, pressing high and limiting Barcelona's usual rhythm. Lindsey Heaps thought she had opened scoring, but VAR ruled the effort offside. The French side's intensity faded after the break, allowing Barca to showcase their clinical finishing.

Pajor finally broke through with a precise finish before Paralluelo's double sealed the emphatic victory. Goalkeeper Cata Coll kept Barcelona in contention during the first half before they converted four of five shots on target. The win marks Barcelona's return to the summit of European football.

Pajor called it "the best day of my life" after finally winning the trophy at her sixth attempt. Graham Hansen praised her team's resilience after last year's final defeat, proving doubters wrong with a dominant second-half performance.
