FC Barcelona has claimed their fourth Women's Champions League title, defeating OL Lyonnes 4-0 at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, with braces from Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo.

Barça has reclaimed the European crown, winning their fourth Champions League by defeating OL Lyonnes 4-0. Stellar performances from Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo, who each scored twice, and an imperial display from goalkeeper Cata Coll were key to the Blaugrana's victory at the Ullevaal Stadion.
The French side attempted to impose a physical game from the outset, using contact and force to contain Barcelona's attackers. The match was end-to-end, with a congested midfield and lines too close together, hindering Barça's fluidity.
A goal by Lindsey Heaps for OL Lyonnes was disallowed for offside after VAR review, keeping the score at 0-0. Barça struggled to find comfort without possession, facing difficulties in connecting deep passes and exiting their own half. Coach Jonatan Giráldez had to make tactical adjustments, with Patri Guijarro playing as a third centre-back and Graham Hansen at full-back.
In the second half, Barça emerged with a renewed demeanor, calmer and with better control of the game. Ewa Pajor broke the deadlock with a goal tucked into the far post, and shortly after scored the second, assisted by Salma Paralluelo, completing a collective play.
Goalkeeper Cata Coll proved decisive with crucial saves that maintained Barça's lead. Meanwhile, Alexia Putellas was substituted to a standing ovation, passing the captain's armband to Patri Guijarro.
The final confirmation came with a spectacular strike from Salma Paralluelo from the edge of the box, scoring the third goal. Paralluelo herself sealed the match with the fourth goal in added time, securing the club's fourth Champions League title.
