Today is a special day in the football world, many might not even know because they care about male football only. I think it is time the world starts paying attention to female football because things have gone to the next level talking about female football, it is not the case of what a man can do a woman can do better but for the love of the game, the female needs audience and attention.
Back in April, we saw over 90,000 fans show up to see the semi-final UEFA Woman's Champions League game against Wolfsburg, it was a massive atmosphere, and these things inspire the women's football to grow as well so I urge every writer here to help promote female football as well.
Barcelona and Lyon will go head to head in today's final of the UWCL game happening later today, the two teams have overcomed several challenges and deserve to be here, they are just one step away from glory.
Barcelona has been impressive throughout the campaign, that team seems to have discovered a new form of strength the team has abandoned for quite some time. Their knockout stage journey would impress you and make you fall in love with female football.
It all started with Real Madrid in the quarterfinals, they trashed Madrid home and away before sending out Wolfsburg in the semi final and now they are to face the team that I would rank as the number in the world of females football. This would be Barcelona's third appearance in the UCL final and they have won one so far in the history of the competition.
Lyon on the other hand has reached 9 final and hold the record of the team with the most UWCL title, winning the title seven times is a huge one they could end up with their eighth title today.
Lyon has dominated the female football and the French team has been incredible in recent years. They conquered Paris Saint-German and Juventus in the knockout stage to reach the final of the competition, playing against Barcelona will be a real test for the French team.
Barcelona are the current champions, they humiliated Chelsea to win the title last season. They broke the Lyon's five-season dominance in the competition, the French giant have won the title five times consecutively before Barcelona got the title in the last season.
Barcelona was among the teams Lyon defeated in the final to lift the trophy in that five years, they defeated Barcelona in 2019 to win their 6th UWCl title. Judging from both teams abilities, it would be hard to give the title to one time before the match as a sports analyst.
Both sides won't be going easy on each other, it would be the 8 titles for Lyon if they get to win the final and it is a whole different glory for Barcelona if they get to win the title.
Firstly, it would be Barcelona's revenge for the 2019 final and their second title in the history of the competition. I expect another record-breaking attendance today, it is going to be an awesome final.
I have know the Lyon women to be the best female football team and I expect nothing less a win from them but Barcelona have a chance of setting a record of winning it back to back which will be a great motivation for me. I wish both teams nest of luck
