The 2022 UEFA Women’s Champions League final sees the champions of Spain take on the champions of France at Juventus’ Allianz Stadium.

It’s hard to argue against Barcelona being the best team in the world. They’re the reigning European champions, having won this competition last year, and are fresh off the back of stunning 100% league season. 30 matches, 30 wins, 159 goals scored, 11 conceded. Yep, you read that right.

WELL, HOW DOES £/€20 AFTER SIGNING UP SOUND?

But Lyon are the undisputed rulers of this competition. And they want their trophy back. They’ve won it seven times since 2011, including five consecutively between 2016 and 2020. Having recently wrapped up the title in France, these two are undoubtedly the best two sides in Europe.

With both littered with superstars, it’s all set-up for a mouthwatering prospect. And we’ve thrown a value-packed Bet Builder into the mix to shake things up even more. Let’s get cracking…

Barcelona -1

Barcelona are the heavy favourites for this year’s final, and there’s no surprise there after they picked up their 30th league win this weekend, to finish off a 100% win rate in La Liga this season. Having only lost one game in all competitions, they will face their toughest test this season in a Lyon side, who have only failed to win once in the French League.

Having said that, Barcelona still look too strong, and I expect their midfield to control proceedings and lead them to a comfortable win. They’ve won nine of their 10 Champions League games this season by two or more goals, so I expect them to do the same and defend their crown.

Alexia Putellas Anytime Goalscorer

Barcelona are an incredible possession-based side, who have quality in all areas, but there’s no doubt who the star of the side is. Midfield maestro and captain of the side, Alexia Putellas has notched 32 goals this season from centre midfield. With 10 goals in ninee games in this season’s Champions League, she’s worth backing to bag another in the final.

Catarina Macario 1+ Shots on Target

The young American midfielder, Catarina Macario, has burst onto the scene this season, leading the way for goals in both the league and Champions League with 21 goals across the two competitions. She is their most attacking player and biggest threat for a goal, so Lyon players will look for her when they have opportunities in front of goal.

Lyon Over 1.5 Cards

It’s set to be tough evening for Lyon, and they will likely be out of possession for the majority of this game. They’ve picked up almost two cards per game on average in this season’s competition, and coming up against a side who keep the ball as well as Barcelona, we could see frustration grow throughout and start to commit more fouls than usual. Finals generally see more cards brandished as well, so it looks like a nice angle here to be on the Lyon cards.
