Barcelona are aiming to win a third successive UEFA Women’s Champions League title when they face Arsenal in Saturday’s final in Lisbon.
The Catalan behemoths have established themselves as the continent’s best over recent seasons and have reached the last five finals, winning three and potentially increasing that total to four this weekend. Pere Romeu’s side will be strong favourites to lift the trophy having thrashed Women’s Super League champions Chelsea in the semifinal and considering they have lost just three times in all competitions this term.
Arsenal nervously await a battle with Europe’s best and are hoping to upset the odds to claim only their second Champions League title—the previous triumph coming all the way back in 2006–07. Renée Slegers has turned the club’s fortunes around since arriving in October and masterminded an astonishing second leg victory over Lyon in the semifinal. Conquering the reigning champions will be an even sterner challenge.
Here is guide to the clash.
