Barcelona will be aiming to retain their UEFA Women's Champions League title on Saturday

Barcelona Femeni and Olympique Lyonnais Feminin clash at the Juventus Stadium in the high-profile UEFA Women's Champions League final on Saturday.

This will be a rematch of the 2019 Budapest final when Lyon came out on top with a 4-1 win. The Spanish side concluded their Primera Division campaign with a perfect 100% record on Sunday and will be hoping to avenge their 2019 loss here.

Lyon, on the other hand, are the record seven-time champions in the competition. They are also undefeated in the Division 1 Feminine campaign thus far and will be looking to extend their winning run to seven games here.

Both sides have won eight of their 10 games in the competition thus far but Barcelona have outscored the French side 37-28 in these fixtures. The clash between the two sides should make for an interesting watch.

Les Lyonnaises have a 100% record against Blaugranes at the moment. They came out victorious in a friendly game in August last year.

Barcelona Femeni vs Olympique Lyonnais Feminin Prediction

The two sides are behemoths in women's football, so it is very fitting that they clash in the title-deciding game in the Champions League this term. Barcelona have been unstoppable this season and their only defeat came in the semi-final against Wolfsburg last month.

Lyon have a rich history in the competition and have never tasted defeat against the Spanish club. Their experience in the competition will certainly be a factor here.

Nonetheless, given Barca's incredible goal-scoring form, we are backing them to secure a win and the title on Saturday.

Prediction: Barcelona Femeni 3-2 Olympique Lyonnais Feminin
