Barcelona women win the second Champions League after an impressive comeback against Wolfsburg | Champions League

If the stats are to be believed, we saw a lot of goals tonight. In the last five finals, 4 or 5 goals have been scored each time. We immediately got our money’s worth.

After 4 minutes, Wolfburg was already in play after a powerful shot from Bajor. She intercepted the ball herself in Barcelona’s half and was immediately slammed in from outside the penalty area. Panos, surprised, could not reverse the ball: 1-0.

Barcelona was selected as a favorite before the final started. In addition, Barcelona players and coach Jonathan Giraldez were eager to avenge the final they lost last year to Lyon.

But Wolfsburg extended their lead to 0-2 before half-time thanks to a deadly counter-attack: Panos had to turn around for the second time after an unstoppable header from Pope.

Wolfsburg coach Strutt’s plan was perfect: apply effective pressure and react quickly. The Catalans knew they had to do something different after the break to turn the game around.

That’s what they did: in the crazy first five minutes of the second half, Guijarro managed to score two goals. Once by foot after a beautiful piece of work by Graham Hansen and once by head on Bonmati’s cross.

Barcelona was completely revived and Wolfsburg was visibly shaken. After carelessly defending Wolfsburg, Rulfo managed to put the final figures of 3-2 on the board. Wolfsburg no longer had an answer, so FC Barcelona Femini clinched the Champions League for the second time in three years.
