"FC Bayern Women missed out on reaching the UEFA Women's Champions League final for the first time, falling 4-2 to FC Barcelona on Sunday. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, José Barcala's team were eliminated from Europe's elite club competition."
"The hosts enjoyed more of the ball and were in control at first, but Bayern had the first half-chance when Klara Bühl saw her effort blocked by Ona Batlle. The Blaugrana's early dominance was rewarded when Caroline Graham Hansen invited Salma Paralluelo to turn home after 12 minutes."
"Barcelona didn't let up despite Munich's quick response. Paralluelo powered past Dallmann on the left and crossed. Bayern failed to clear the ball, with Alexia Putellas quickest to react, firing into the right-hand corner of the net."
"The second half began much like the first: the hosts dominated possession, Ewa Pajor and Alexia Putellas finding the net to extend Barcelona's lead."
