Alexia Putellas struck twice as Barcelona beat Bayern Munich 4-2 in an entertaining battle to reach the women’s Champions League final, sealing a 5-3 aggregate win on Sunday.
The Catalan giants, competing in their sixth straight final, will face record eight-time winners Lyon, who beat holders Arsenal on Saturday in the other semi-final.
Salma Paralluelo and Ewa Pajor were also on target for Barca, who held off a relentless Bayern side in the final stages.
Barcelona were boosted by the return of Aitana Bonmati as a substitute, in her first game after a five-month injury lay-off after a broken leg.
“I’m really happy for the team, they’ve had a great season and now we just need to put the cherry on top,” Bonmati told Disney+.
“(Lyon) are a historic club in the Champions League, they’ve got an amazing team, for me they’ve always been the side to beat.
“They’re a club we started looking up to when we were nothing, and we wanted to reach their level, and we did.”
Pere Romeu’s side, now unbeaten in 31 consecutive matches, quickly took control at a Camp Nou packed with 60,000 fans.
