Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo each recorded a brace in the second half to give Barcelona their fourth final win in six years.<\/p>\n<p>OL Lyonnes, featuring U.S. women\u2019s national team midfielders Lindsey Heaps, Lily Yohannes and Korbin Shrader, had the better first half but were unable to make it count on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona didn\u2019t record a shot on target until the second half, but that first accurate shot was calmly slotted past Christiane Endler by Pajor. Assisted by Patri Guijarro, Pajor scored her competition-leading tenth goal of the season ten minutes into the second half. Pajor tallied her second in the 69th minute, assisted by Paralluelo. The Polish forward finished as the competition\u2019s leading scorer with 11 goals (two ahead of Arsenal\u2019s Alessia Russo).<\/p>\n<p>Paralluelo sealed Barcelona\u2019s victory in stoppage time with two goals in three minutes. Pajor returned the  Spaniard\u2019s earlier favor by assisting Paralluelo\u2019s second goal of the night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get a sense of release off your shoulders, you think about everything it has cost to get this far, and you value having won it even more \u2013 and having won it the way we won it,\u201d Barcelona head coach Pere Romeu <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/womenschampionsleague\/news\/02a5-20b20887fb85-ff415d20bbb3-1000--barcelona-4-0-ol-lyonnes-highlights-ewa-pajor-and-salma-p\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said postgame<\/a>. \u201cEven though we pulled away on the scoreboard, it was a real team match. [Goalkeeper] Cata [Coll] saved us in a couple of situations, then we scored and we kept pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pajor was voted the Vodafone Player of the Match. She had previously suffered defeat in her previous five final appearances with Wolfsburg and Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m grateful. This is amazing; the best day of my life. I\u2019ve played in six finals and finally, in Oslo, we did it,\u201d Pajor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/womenschampionsleague\/news\/02a5-20b20887fb85-ff415d20bbb3-1000--barcelona-4-0-ol-lyonnes-highlights-ewa-pajor-and-salma-p\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said postgame<\/a>. \u201cI am very proud and very thankful. From the start to the end, it was a hard game, but we did so, so well. We fought for the win, and that\u2019s what this team does every day, fight to be the best team in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The victory is Barcelona\u2019s fourth title after winning the 2020\/21, 2022\/23 and 2023\/24 campaigns. Guijarro, Aitana Bonmat\u00ed, Alexia Putellas and Caroline Graham Hansen took the pitch for Barcelona in all four of their final wins. They were in an unprecedented sixth straight final, and seventh in eight years, and their fourth against OL, who won in 2018\/19 and 2021\/22 before Barcelona\u2019s 2023\/24 and now 2025\/26 victories. The 4-0 margin of victory equalled Barcelona\u2019s against Chelsea in the 2021 final.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Equalizer Soccer\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/2026\/05\/23\/pajor-paralluelo-braces-lead-barcelona-to-uwcl-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Credit: Ane Frosaker \/ SPP FC Barcelona Femin\u00ed won their fourth UEFA Women\u2019s Champions League trophy, scoring four goals against OL Lyonnes on Saturday in Oslo, Norway.
