The UEFA Women's Champions League Final sees Barcelona and Lyonnes face off in Norway. Barcelona come in strong after dominating their domestic league and winning the Spanish Cup, averaging nearly 4.5 goals per league game. Lyonnes are historically dominant in Europe, having won the title eight times and scoring freely this season. Both teams feature high-powered attacks and are expected to field full-strength lineups. The recommendation is a Barcelona victory with at least 2.5 goals, anticipating an entertaining, goal-filled matchup.

Barcelona vs Lyonnes Predictions

A potentially thrilling Champions League final could be on the cards this weekend. I have my stake on Barcelona to win with at least three match goals expected. 

Goals Likely in Norway


  • Barcelona have seen over 3.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 matches
  • Barcelona won 12 of their last 13 matches
  • Six of the last eight Champions League finals finished with over 3.5 goals
  • Lyonnes have seen over 3.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches
  • Lyonnes lost 2 of their last 4 matches (Champions League)

Lyonnes Lead H2H Record Against Barcelona

Barcelona and Lyonnes have met on six previous occasions. Lyonnes won their first five encounters before Barcelona claimed a 2-0 victory in their most recent meeting in the final of this competition two years ago. 

Barcelona Secure Copa de SM La Reina Glory

Barcelona arrive in Norway in high spirits after a 3-1 win against Atletico Madrid in the final of the Copa de SM La Reina last weekend. 

First-half goals from Claudia Pina (23') and Esmee Brugts (31') set the Catalans on their way as Pere Romeu's side secured their sixth Spanish Cup title in seven years.

Barca Femení.have enjoyed another brilliant season, with the Spaniards securing the Liga F Moeve with 27 wins from 28 matches. Romeu's side scored an average of 4.46 goals per game in their dominant domestic campaign.

On the continent, Barcelona have been equally impressive, with a 5-3 aggregate win against Bayern securing their place in Saturday's final. The Catalans remain unbeaten in ten Champions League games played this season, with eight wins. Barca averaged 3.7 goals per game in those ten fixtures.

Competing in the Champions League final for the sixth successive season, Barcelona slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in last season's final. 

Lyonnes Maintain Fine Form

Lyonnes head to Norway after a commanding 8-0 win in their Premiere Ligue, Feminine, Playoff semi-final contest last weekend. Ada Hegerberg stepped off the bench to score a late, nine-minute hat-trick as Jonatan Giradez's side overwhelmed the visiting Canaries. 

The French champions have enjoyed an excellent month, scoring 18 goals while winning each of their last four fixtures.

Returning to the UEFA Champions League final for the 12th time in their history, Giraldez's women claimed a surprise 4-3 aggregate victory in the semi-finals against title-holders Arsenal. 

Lyon remain the most successful side in the competition's history. The French giants have claimed victory in eight of their previous 11 final appearances.

Like their Spanish opponents, high-scoring outcomes have been frequent. Eight of their ten Champions League games this season finished with at least three goals scored. 

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Barcelona (4-3-3) Cata Coll; Ona Batlle, Irene Paredes, Maria Leon, Esmee Brugts; Clara Serrajordi, Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putellas; Caroline Graham Hansen, Ewa Pajor, Salma Paralluelo

Head coach Romeu is likely to retain confidence in the same side that edged past Bayern in the semi-finals earlier this month. 

With nine goals in ten Champions League appearances this season, Ewa Pajor is expected to spearhead the Catalan attack. 

Lyonnes (4-3-3) Christiane Endler; Ashley Lawrence, Wendie Renard, Ingrid Syrstad Engen, Selma Bacha; Melchie Dumornay, Lindsey Heaps, Lily Yohannes; Kadidiatou Diani, Ada Hegerberg, Jule Brand

Lyon boss Giradez has no reported injury issues ahead of the trip to Norway this weekend. Influential midfielder Melchie Dumornay is set to feature in the Lyon midfield. The 22-year-old has scored five goals in nine Champions League appearances this season. 

Verdict

Barcelona have been in relentless winning form, and they should have too much quality for Lyonnes. I have my stake on a home win with over 2.5 goals, while we could see four or more goals on Saturday.
