One stat for each side after the Women's Champions League semis and Europa Cup decider
Lyonnes stage a comeback while Barca secure victory
15. One year after facing disappointment at this point, OL Lyonnes gained retribution against Arsenal. The most successful UWCL champions defeated the Gunners 3-1 on French soil, securing a 4-3 aggregate triumph. Jule Brand emerged as the star with her late strike just four minutes before the end, guiding OL to their 12th final appearance. Alessia Russo had equalised the overall score midway through the half, yet Arsenal, who overcame Lyonnes in last season's semi-final, failed to repeat their previous success. Les Fenottes have now netted in each of their past 15 UWCL home fixtures.
10. Arsenal's European campaign concludes here, denying them the chance to become the fifth unique side to retain the UWCL crown. The Gunners can reflect positively on their progress, having won six straight games prior to their quarter-final return leg setback. This marks their third away defeat in the tournament this season, an area for improvement ahead of the next campaign. The North London outfit must regroup after suffering their tenth loss to a French team in the UWCL.
21. Barcelona reach a sixth successive UWCL final by overcoming Bayern Munich 4-2 at Camp Nou. Strikes from Alexia Putellas (2), Salma Paralluelo, and Ewa Pajor allowed Barca to build a three-goal advantage by the 60th minute. The Catalans set a record as the initial team to attain six straight finals, having claimed three of the prior five. They preserved an unblemished home record against Bayern in the Women's Champions League, including a league phase victory. That said, Barca conceded more than one goal at home for the first time in 21 outings.
3. Bayern Munich's pursuit of a breakthrough European honour persists, having trailed for most of the two-legged encounter. They fell behind three times overall, managing to level twice, but ultimately could not compete with Barca. This represents their third exit at the UWCL's last four stage for the Bavarians, who continue to falter against Spanish opponents. Notably, all three matches they lost this season were against Liga F teams. It is also the third occasion Bayern netted three goals across a two-legged tie yet still bowed out.

Hacken make sporting history
26. BK Hacken etch their name in the UEFA Women's Europa Cup annals by defeating Swedish rivals Hammarby 3-2 in an exciting return leg. Getingarna claim the inaugural title with a 4-2 aggregate victory. Felicia Schroder notched a brace within the first five minutes and sealed her hat-trick post-interval. Hacken earn a spot in their third UWCL group stage come next autumn via this success. Altogether, they tallied 26 goals en route to European success, marking the third Swedish club to claim a continental prize.
13. Hammarby's impressive second European adventure, their second overall, finishes in defeat despite briefly equalising in the second leg before conceding soon after. Nonetheless, Bajen never took the lead over the full 180 minutes. They held parity for only 12 minutes during the home fixture. Prospects brighten for next year with entry into the UWCL non-champions path second qualifying round. Hammarby edged their Damallsvenskan foes in attempts, registering 13 shots to Hacken's 12.
