Barça won 45 competitive games in a row until the second leg in the Champions League semi-final at the end of April. The new German champion VfL Wolfsburg was the first - and until last Saturday - team that FC Barcelona could not win against this season. The League completed the Catalans with impressive 30 wins from 30 games, with a goal difference of 159: 11.
It is clear that the season should be crowned with the triumph in the premier class - combined with a wax release at the European level, where Barça would have put the trophy into the air for the second time after Lyons' five final victories. And at the same time for the lost final of 2019 (1: 4) could have been recipient.
Instead, the German international Dzsenifer Marozsan, active for OL since 2016, cheered her colleagues at around 9 p.m. via Instagram: "What a game! More than deserved!" The 30-year-old midfielder had to follow the final from the television for a cruciate ligament tear and will therefore also miss the European Championship in England.
"had to pull us together"
After a 21-month injury break, Lyon's star player Ada Hegerberg, who marked the 2-0 after 22 minutes. In general, the game seemed after Barça hardly got into the game and Macario increased to 3-0 after a good half hour. Shortly afterwards, Hegerberg just missed the really decisive 4: 0. So world footballer Alexia Putellas brought some excitement into the game through the 1:3 goal, with which the break went.
But there were no goals in a no less eventful second half. "We worked on the tactical details and defended them very compactly," said Ol trainer Sonia Bombastor her team's appearance after the final whistle. "In the end we had to pull ourselves together, but overall we had things under control," the 41-year-old is quoted on the club website.
"I wouldn't have believed in it a year ago"
Hegerberg, who won the Champions League with Lyon for the sixth time after the five triumphs between 2016 and 2020, found significantly more emotional words: "This season was hard, we really gave everything. I had to put a long distance for it, that was like a Nightmare. And then win the Champions League is huge. "
"We beat a wonderful team," continued the 26-year-old Norwegian. "A year ago I would not have believed in standing here again with the trophy". It is the first title win for Hegerberg since returning from her lengthy injury - and next weekend the triumph in the French league could follow, and the decisive top game at the second -placed Paris St. Germain will be coming up next Saturday (2:30 p.m.).
