Barcelona Reach Sixth Final

Barcelona have secured their place in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final for a sixth consecutive season after defeating Bayern Munich 4–2 at Camp Nou in the second leg of their semi-final tie. With the first leg ending 1–1, Barcelona progressed on aggregate and will face Lyon in Oslo in the final.

The tie had remained evenly balanced following the opening leg, in which Bayern Munich held Barcelona to a draw despite finishing the match with ten players. This set up a decisive second leg in Barcelona.

In front of a crowd of more than 60,000 spectators, Barcelona took the lead through Salma Paralluelo. Bayern responded quickly, with Linda Dallmann restoring parity. The match then shifted in Barcelona’s favour as Alexia Putellas scored twice, underlining her influence in midfield and attack. Between Putellas’ two goals, Ewa Pajor added another for the Catalan side, further extending their advantage.

Bayern Munich, however, remained competitive throughout the contest. Pernille Harder reduced the deficit in the second half, ensuring a period of sustained pressure on Barcelona. The German side also struck the woodwork twice and had another goal disallowed, narrowly missing opportunities to level the tie.

Despite Bayern’s attempts to recover, Barcelona maintained their structure and control in the closing stages, ultimately securing a 4–2 victory on the night and confirming their progression to the final.

The match also marked the return of Aitana Bonmatí, the two-time Ballon d’Or winner, who rejoined the squad after a spell out due to injury. Her presence added further strength to Barcelona’s midfield options during a key stage of the competition.
