FC Barcelona saw its attempt to win the Champions League thwarted after losing the final against Porto, a result that will lead them to face Pons Lleida in the upcoming Continental Cup.

Porto defeated Barça 3-1 in the Champions League final, preventing the Catalan club from securing its 23rd continental title. This defeat marks the eighth consecutive year without Barça reigning in Europe since their last victory in 2018. Now, the Blaugrana team will prepare for the Continental Cup, where they will face Pons Lleida, champions of the WS Europe Cup, in next season's semifinals.
The match, which took place on May 10, 2026, started with a very strong Porto, who scored two goals in the first seven minutes thanks to José Soares and Gonçalo Alves. Despite the initial disadvantage, Barça showed its ability to react. After halftime, Ignacio Alabart narrowed the gap from the penalty spot in the 27th minute, reopening the game.
The team, led by a former Porto coach, had to resist with a numerical disadvantage due to the exclusions of Marc Grau and Barroso. However, a defensive lapse was exploited by Telmo Sousa, who sealed the match with the definitive 3-1, closing Barça's chances of a comeback.
