OL LYONNES vs FC BARCELONA 05232026
Here we go. Whichever team wins will have won all possible trophies . This is the third meeting in the uefa champions league final.
Considering what OL is going through OL LYONNES needs to win this, not only for PResident Kang's first great successful season but also to hopefully keep OL LYONNES safe from any machinations in UEFA that want to hamr OL LYONNES by connection to OL
PREMATCH
big match for HEgerberg + Renard + ENdler, all three are healthy and surrounded by electricity + skill. Execution is key, play better on the day, it is that simple.

HALFTIME
Even half, and i expected an even game, OL Lyonnes have been sharper, had more opportunities, forced barca to foul them. I argue if they keep it up, they will have the same opportunities and maybe one of these will not be called away by VAR. Barca has ten fouls to OL's three but no yellow card on any barca player... I think barca's shirt has to stop having so much value in the womens game. I know media outlets want barca to win. France winning the womens and mens goes against the narrative that french soccer is less than.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Missed DIani in all earnest, missed her badly and she was injured against Arsenal in the pror leg. This summer, OL Lyonnes may have departures in Hegerberg/ Renard/ Katoto/Diani potentially. Heaps is crying, so maybe she is gone, which i don't want but we will see. But OL Lyonnes have to replace every player that leaves with the highest quality , pay the million each if need be. I like the look of Julie Brand, she looks pissed!!!:) Good look, I like hatred at the end. Work hard, work on your scoring, each player. In my iew, OL LYonnes as a squad have no reason to fear any club in the world, so... train harder, and push. Kang has to wait another year for her UEFA Womens Champions League. I hope she is willing to invest big time.
Congrats to Barca.
