   TELL ME MORE
   
   Lyon had blown Barca out of the water in the 2019 and 2022 finals, but the
   third instalment of this growing rivalry was quite different. Though an
   engrossing and incredibly even first half went by without a huge chance for
   either side, there were plenty of bright moments for both; Caroline Graham
   Hansen causing Lyon all sorts of problems down the right while Kadidiatou
   Diani showed her flair at the other end.
   
   However, it was the Ballon d'Or winner, the star of this Barca team, that
   broke the deadlock, Bonmati making a brilliant run down the left just past
   the hour mark before gleefully watching her attempted shot deflect off
   Vanessa Gilles and over Lyon goalkeeper Christiane Endler to make it 1-0.
   
   Try as they might, Lyon had no response, with another Ballon d'Or winner,
   two-time recipient Alexia Putellas, instead coming off the bench in
   stoppage-time to put the cherry on Barca's cake with an absolutely gorgeous
   finish that capped a wonderful day in Bilbao for the Catalans.

 * DID YOU KNOW?
   
   This was an historic victory for Barca for many reasons. It marked the first
   time the women's team had successfully defended their European crown and it
   also completed an incredible quadruple, with this the first season that they
   have won Liga F, the Copa de la Reina, the Super Cup and the Champions
   League.

   THE MVP
   
   While Graham Hansen was electric all evening, it was Bonmati who once again
   came up with the goods that made the difference on Saturday. It was no
   surprise that Barca's attack grew more dangerous when she and Mariona
   Caldentey started to have more influence on the game, and it was a nice pass
   from the latter that set Bonmati on her way in behind the Lyon defence to
   score.


 * THE BIG LOSER
   
   Gilles had a really good game on Saturday. She made an excellent block in the
   first half in particular, as Mariona unleashed a dangerous shot from the edge
   of the box, and did her bit in ensuring Salma Paralluelo received minimal
   service. That she got the touch that took Bonmati's shot up and over Endler,
   then, was cruel and the look on her face when the ball nestled in the back of
   the net said it all.

   WHAT COMES NEXT?
   
   This match marked the final in charge of Lyon for Chelsea-bound Sonia
   Bompastor and her opposite number, Jonatan Giraldez, will leave his role as
   Barca coach when the league season concludes in a few weeks' time, too, set
   to take charge of the Washington Spirit.
   
   A summer of change lays ahead for these two giants of Europe, then, as they
   bid to make appointments that could get them back to this stage of the
   Champions League in 12 months.
