Barcelona Women vs Lyon Women Prediction

Barcelona are competing in their fourth successive UEFA Women's Champions League final and will aim to win their third title. Jonathan Giraldez's side have had an almost immaculate campaign, with just one loss in 45 games across competitions, winning 42.

Lyon, for their part, are the most successful side in the competition and are aiming to win a record-extending ninth title. Their record against Barcelona will be a source of confidence despite being the underdogs on paper.

Barcelona are aiming to win a second treble, though, so expect them to complete the feat with a narrow win and a clean sheet.

Prediction: Barcelona 1-0 Lyon
