Arsenal is the champion of the Women's Champions League for the 2024/25 season.

The English team beat Barcelona in the final played this Saturday (24) at the José Alvalade Stadium, in Lisbon.

Swedish Stina Blackstenius scored the only goal of the match, 28 minutes into the final half.

This is the second time that Arsenal has won the Women's Champions League title, after taking the title in the 2006/07 season.

The result also prevented a third consecutive championship for Barcelona, who had defeated Wolfsburg and Lyon in the last decisions.

The game

Barcelona dominated the game in terms of ball possession and also had more shots on goal.

But the current two-time tournament champions had difficulty creating real chances to open the scoring.

In the first half, it was Arsenal who managed to shake the nets, but the own goal scored by Irene Paredes was ruled out for offside.

After the break, Barcelona increased its offensive production, but it was the English team who showed efficiency.

Beth Mead found a beautiful pass for Blackstenius inside the box and the striker finished well to score 1 x 0.
