On Saturday, May 25, the UEFA Women’s Champions League trophy was presented at Estadio San Mames, Spain.
This final featured a rematch between Barcelona and Lyon, with Lyon previously beating Barcelona 3-1 in 2022. Barcelona then secured the trophy a year later, triumphing over Wolfsburg with a 3-2 victory in the Netherlands. In 2024, they achieved a significant milestone, winning against Lyon 2-0 at San Mames, marking the completion of an impressive quadruple.
Barcelona and Lyon have established themselves as key players in European women’s football over the last 15 years, and the final attracted a record audience of over 50,000 fans. But which club stands out as the most successful in this tournament’s legacy?
