Barcelona clinched a 4-0 triumph over OL Lyonnes in Oslo, securing their fourth Champions League crown in six years. Midfielder Alexia Putellas collected the UEFA Women's Champions League Player of the Season award, her second such honor after 2021‑22. Though she did not score in the final, she amassed seven goals and seven assists in 11 matches, a tournament‑high 14 goal contributions.

United States midfielder Lily Yohannes, only 18, earned the Revelation of the Season prize after helping Lyonnes reach the final. Her season tally of two goals and one assist in ten European games underscores her rapid rise. The UEFA Technical Observer Group also announced a Team of the Season dominated by Barça, featuring Putellas, Patri Guijarro, Mapi León, goalkeeper Cata Coll and striker Ewa Pajor.

Barça’s haul of five players on the seasonal eleven reflects their depth and cements their status as Europe’s benchmark club. With veteran Aitana Bonmatí adding a third consecutive individual award, the squad appears poised to extend its dominance. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid’s Júlia Bartel captured Goal of the Season, highlighting emerging talent beyond the finalists.
