Barcelona claimed their fourth Women's Champions League title on Saturday evening, as two goals apiece from Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo allowed the Catalans to beat eight-time winners Lyon 4-0 in Oslo. It was Pajor's sixth final, with her having lost the previous five. But the Poland international finally got her hands on that UWCL trophy this year, grabbing the headlines in the process.

Lindsey Heaps can become the first American to win two UWCL titles, strengthening her case as the best U.S. player to ever build a career in Europe.

Melchie Dumornay has always had something special. After catching the eye of then-Reims manager Amandine Miquel at the 2018 Under-20 Women's World Cup, the Haitian prospect would sign for the French club three years later, when she turned 18. Within weeks, Miquel had no doubts. "This is going to be one of the best players in the world in the next few years," she declared. Fast forward to today and Miquel has already been proven right.

For the fourth time in seven years, Lyon and Barcelona will go head-to-head in the Women's Champions League final on Saturday. The eight-time winners and three-time winners, respectively, are developing something of a rivalry in Europe's premier competition, with this season providing further support to the belief that they are the two best teams in the women's game right now.
