WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL CHELSEA V BARCELONA SUNDAY, 8PM, BT SPORT
FOR the first time since 2015, this game will not be all about the women’s football force that is
Lyon. The seven-time winners have triumphed in the last five European finals but this year they won’t. Knocked out by Paris SaintGermain in the quarter-finals, Lyon’s exit opened the door for first-time finalists Chelsea and their Spanish opponents. Emma Hayes is chasing a quadruple, having already bagged the Super League and League Cup, with the FA Cup to resume next season. In Aussie Sam Kerr and England forward Fran Kirby (right), she has the strikeforce to do the damage in Gothenburg. ‘Kerrby’ have 37 goals and 18 assists between them. With Pernille Harder, Erin Cuthbert and more too, Barca’s defence could be in for a very tricky night.
