Olympique Lyon’s domination in women’s football continued, as they won their fifth consecutive Champions League crown with a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg.
Olympique Lyon lifted the UEFA Women’s Champions League for record seventh time in history, beating Wolfsburg 3-1 at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian.
Even without the inaugural Ballon d’Or winner Ada Hegerberg and English forward Nikita Parris, Les Lyonnaises domination continued, as they were crowned European champions for the fifth time in a row.
Lyon’s number 9, Eugenie Le Sommer broke the deadlock 25 minutes into the final, while Japanese midfielder doubled the lead seconds before half time.
Alexandra Popp restored the hopes for the German side early in the second half, but Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir put the game to bed in the 88th minute.
This was the fourth UEFA Women’s Champions League final between Wolfsburg and Lyon.
Wolfsburg won the first one 1-0 back in 2013, but Les Lyonnaises triumphed in the next three – in 2016, 2018 and 2020.
Arsenal forward Vivianne Miedema finished the season as top goalscorer with 10 strikes, one more than Harder from Wolfsburg and Hegerberg from Lyon.
