After Barça took control, possession 66 percent possession and great opportunities for leadership. Bayern came into play just before the break.

Bayern could be happy that the game was not pre-decided to break. Defender Kathrin Hendrich challenged her luck again: When Barças drilled Lieke Mertens into the box, Hendrich straddled the ball but hit the Dutchman's ankle. Referee Jana Adamkova did not give the penalty. The VAR is not used in the women's Champions League.

The second half: There have been games in which a careless loss of opportunity avenged, not so on Easter Sunday in Munich.

Barcelona then continued to play possession, combining again and again from the defense and held the victory, even with a little luck in the free-kick Däbritz, to the end.
