Soccer-Barcelona power to 4-0 women's Champions League final win over Lyon

Barcelona forwards ​Ewa Pajor and Salma ​Paralluelo both netted two ‌second-half goals ​as their side cruised to a 4-0 win over OL Lyonnes to win ‌the women's Champions League final on Saturday and secure a fourth European crown for the Spanish giants.

After a cagey first half in ‌which Lyon had a goal ruled out for offside, ‌Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 55th minute as Patri Guijarro won the ball deep in Barca’s half and surged forward before picking out Pajor ⁠to ​her right, who ⁠finished clinically from a tight angle. Pajor added her second 14 minutes later ⁠as the Lyon defence switched off and left her alone in front ​of goal, and the 29-year-old Polish goal-poacher blasted a ⁠pass from Esme Brugts into the net from close range to double her ⁠side’s ​advantage.

That goal took the wind from Lyon's sails, and all that remained was for Paralluelo to blast a superb ⁠third goal from distance in the 90th minute before adding another ⁠on the ⁠break three minutes later to cap off a brilliant second-half display from the Spaniards as they ‌secured the ‌trophy.
