Preview:
It’s the finals of the Womens Champions League final in Sweden as Chelsea take on Barcelona.
Neither side has won the UEFA Champions league in their history hence this would be a first for both sides.
Barcelona was beaten 4-1 by Lyon in the 2019 UCL final while Chelsea has reached their first final this season.
It’s set to be a classic as both sides are in form and would be a battle of wits and nerves as to who emerges the winner.
The Blues beat Benfica in the round of 32 with an emphatic 8-0 score line followed by a 3-0 win over last season’s quarterfinalists, Atlético Madrid.
Chelsea went past Wolfsburg 5-1 in the quarters before they swept past Bayern 5-3 in the semis to reach their maiden final.
Barcelona beat:
PSV Eindhoven: 8-2
Fortuna Hjørring: 9-0
Manchester City: 4-2 (Quarter finals)
Paris Saint Germain: 3-2 (semi-finals) ; to reach their second final
Hayes’s side would look to win the competition and hope Tuchel’s men do the same at the end of the month.
