Lyon held around 60% possession and repeatedly attacked through corners and sustained pressure. Barcelona struggled to change the game’s momentum at times, especially when Lyon tried to play out from the back, though Barcelona’s strong press disrupted moments. Lyon created pinball situations in the box from right-side corners, but Barcelona scrambled clear and prevented shots. Barcelona’s attacking moments included a through ball for Bacha, whose cross was collected by Cata Coll, and a ball over the top that allowed Pajor to attempt a lob that went just wide. A goal was ruled out after a lengthy VAR review for offside, and Barcelona continued to defend set pieces and clear danger.
"Lyon have enjoyed around 60% possession. Maybe Barca are luring them into a false sense of security"
"A Lyon corner is swung in from the right but it is greeted by a Barca head. The French side recycle it but cannot get a shot away."
"A simple ball over the top catches Lyonnes out; Endler thinks she can reach it but is nowhere near, allowing Pajor a chance to lob the goalkeeper but her shot goes just wide. Now each team needs to settle back down and work things out. Lyon looking pretty calm and moving the ball quicker."
"After a bizarrely long VAR review, the goal is chalked off for offside. The no goal: Lindsey Hea"
