The

club

made history in

Gothenburg

.

The team that

Lluís Cortés

coaches

became the first Spanish team to win the Women's Champions League.

And, in doing so, he managed to make the Barça club the first to achieve the highest European title in both categories.

His superiority over

Chelsea

was ultimately overwhelming. As much, as the one that many of its players suffered in their own flesh two years ago against

Olympique de Lyon

. The final 0-4 in favor of the Barcelona players, against a team that had only conceded five goals to stand in the decisive duel, left no room for doubt.

The group of Lluís Cortés made their intentions diaphanous very soon. Barça jumped onto the pitch like a whirlwind and saw their attitude rewarded in the best possible way.

Right out of the box

,

Lieke Martens

sent a great shot to the crossbar that would be the seed of the 0-1, scored at an own goal by

Leupolz

after a somewhat muddled play. The first 35 of the game had barely passed and the Catalans were already leading on the scoreboard.

Chelsea, far from being daunted, tried to respond with dangerous approaches to

Sandra Paños'

goal

. The lack of aim of his attackers or the good actions of the Barcelona defense, however, deprived him of taking the equalizer. Barça, meanwhile, responded by seeking possession of the ball, that hallmark so unequivocally Barça. And it wouldn't take too long to win the award again. In this case, with a Leupolz penalty on

Jenni Hermoso

that

Alexia

, despite her injury, sent to the back of the net before the first 15 minutes were up. The VAR, present for the first time in the competition, confirmed the decision of

Riem Hussein

, the person in charge of directing the match.

The captain hesitated until the last moment due to discomfort in her hamstrings that forced her to wear a bulky bandage on her left thigh, she did not hesitate for a moment when it came to transforming the maximum penalty using precisely that leg. 0-2 was soon followed by 0-3, the work of

Aitana Bonmatí

, after a series of combinations between the Catalans. And

Graham Hansen

After a great personal move by Lieke Martens, he was rewarded for his decisive interventions in the actions of the first two goals with a ball on a tray that he only had to push for the 0-4 to rise to the scoreboard. Football seemed to want to give Barça the near-perfect rematch of Budapest. Two years ago, Olympique de Lyon left the final decided with four goals in the first half hour. The Barcelona players, in this case, did the same in 36 minutes.

Chelsea, with nothing to lose, opted to advance their lines as much as possible after the break, in search of a goal that would allow them to get even minimally in the game. Barça had to grit their teeth and, despite their advantage, defend themselves as if their victory were the minimum. Regaining possession, again, was the key objective to not only appease the attempt of the English team, but also to try to find some action that would allow them to widen the differences in the light. Little by little, the London team was losing its effervescence.

Oshoala

He even sent a ball to the bottom of the nets that did not become a goal when the play was invalidated for offside.

The drop in heart rate of Chelsea, in the end, allowed the Barcelona fans to finally live a placid end of the game that found its climax in the final outburst of joy that led to the collection, at last, of the much-desired Champions League trophy.
