Lyonnes turn things around as Barca get the job done

15 - A year on from suffering heartbreak at this stage, OL Lyonnes exacted revenge on Arsenal. The record UWCL winners got the better of the Gunners 3-1 in France, prevailing 4-3 on aggregate. Jule Brand was the hero with her goal four minutes from time to lead OL to their 12th final in the competition. Alessia Russo had tied the aggregate score earlier in the half, but Arsenal, who topped Lyonnes in last year's semi, could not produce the same magic this time around. Les Fenottes have now scored in their last 15 UWCL home games.

10 - It is the end of the road for Arsenal, who miss out on being the fifth different team to successfully defend the UWCL title. The Gunners can look back at their run with pride, as they had enjoyed a six-game winning streak before their quarter-final second leg defeat. With this being their third loss in the competition away from home this term, it is something they will have to improve on going into next season. It is back to the drawing board for the North London club, who were defeated by a French side in the UWCL for the 10th time.

21 - Barcelona make it six UWCL finals in a row as they saw off Bayern Munich 4-2 at Camp Nou. Goals from Alexia Putellas (2), Salma Paralluelo, and Ewa Pajor helped Barca take a three-goal lead by the hour mark. The Catalans became the first team to make six consecutive finals in the competition, winning three of the previous five. They also maintained a perfect record at home to Bayern in the Women's Champions League, having also beaten them during the league phase. However, Barca have conceded multiple home goals for the first time in 21 matches.

3 - Bayern Munich's chase for that elusive continental title goes on, as they played from behind for much of the two legs. They went behind thrice in the tie, and while they did draw level twice, they were simply no match for Barca. It marks a third elimination at the final four of the UWCL for the Bavarians, whose struggles with Spanish teams continue. Fittingly enough, all three games they failed to win this campaign were versus Liga F opposition. This is also the third time that Bayern scored three times in a two-legged tie, but were eliminated.

Hacken become history-makers

26 - BK Hacken are the history-makers in the UEFA Women's Europa Cup, beating fellow Swedish side Hammarby 3-2 in a thrilling second leg. Getingarna become the competition's first-ever winner thanks to their 4-2 aggregate success. Felicia Schroder scored twice in less than five minutes in the opening exchanges of the match before completing her hat-trick after the restart. Hacken will play in their third UWCL group phase next autumn thanks to their win. In total, they scored 26 goals on their way to continental glory, the third Swedish team to lift a European trophy.

13 - A remarkable journey in Europe, just their second ever, ended in heartbreak for Hammarby, who did manage to level the score in the match, only to concede a few minutes later. Still, Bajen never led across the 180 minutes of football. In fact, they were level for just 12 minutes in the return leg. They will look for more next summer as they will enter the second qualifying round of the UWCL's non-champions path. Hammarby did outshoot their fellow Damallsvenskan opponents, mustering 13 shots in comparison to Hacken's 12.
