Barcelona achieved this Saturday at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo their fourth Champions League, half of the eight accumulated by their rival, a surpassed Olympique Lyonnais who succumbed to an uncontestable 4-0. The blaugrana team has won four (2021, 2023, 2024, and 2026) of the seven Champions League finals they have played between 2019 and 2026 and, along with Frankfurt, a German team, stands as the second club with the most continental titles.

Savior, 10
Cata Coll
Having the Balearic is synonymous with half a title. Giant in the exits and decisive with her fists and stretches against Renard and Hegerberg, when Heaps got past her the goal did not count.
Balanced, 8
Ona Batlle
Very challenged at the back with Lyon’s transitions, she provided the necessary depth on the right wing. The fullback leaves Barça with a Champions League. Mission accomplished.
Hierarchical, 8
Irene Paredes
Her starting was a question mark after days training separately. But a final without her is losing an essential piece in interpreting, anticipating, and timing the game against a very vertical Lyon.
Excellent, 9
Mapi León
In her last final with Barça she fought, broke the French pressure, and delivered balls into the area. She gave her all. She even finished with a split eyebrow from an elbow. Her departure will be hard to resolve.
Versatile, 8
Brugts
She showed all her versatility. She embedded herself in midfield, covered Becho from the baseline, and brought order in the area against Dumornay’s threat. She ended up enjoying herself in attack.
Differential, 9
Patri Guijarro
She is the all-seeing eye. She connects defense and attack with impactful drives. When you least expect it, she shoots or sticks the ball to her feet to assist Pajor. Candidate for the Ballon d’Or.

Growing, 8
Clara Serrajordi
Debutant in a Champions League final, she showed her privileged vision of the game. She offered pace, muscle, ball recovery, and easy passing. She connected well with Alexia, her mentor on and off the field.
Captain, 8
Alexia
Perfect in game construction, Alexia is and will be an example of hard work. She performed all functions: from stopping Hegerberg and Bacha to nearly hitting the post after a pass from Graham.
Meritorious, 8
Graham Hansen
Recovered for the final, she felt comfortable again in her habitat: showed dribbling, depth, and cross shots. She lacked precision in long-range shots but worked hard.
Dynamite
Salma Paralluelo
She dribbled, crossed balls, and scored two great goals with her prodigious left foot. The 3-0 after a sublime control and the 4-0 after connecting with Pajor. Contract ends. She should not be let go.
Imperial, 9
Ewa Pajor
Determined to win after losing five finals, she tried every way until she succeeded. She opened the scoring with a great goal and waited for Salma to score the second. She assisted the 4-0 goal.
