Lyon triumph in the fifth consecutive final of the Women’s Champions League

AN SEBASTI-N, Spain (AP) – Lyon reached the women’s Champions League final for the fifth time in a row on Wednesday after Wendie Renard scored head-on in the 67th minute to secure a 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Lyon will be their fifth consecutive name in Sunday’s final against Wolfsburg, who beat Barcelona in the other semi-final on Tuesday.

Both groups finished the match with 10 players. Grace Geyoro of PSG sent off at 66 and Nikita Parris of Lyon sent off at 75, either with yellow cards for now.

Wolfsburg will earn its third European name after back-to-back wins in 2013 and 2014.

Lyon, a six-time winner and nine finalists, beat Wolfsburg in the 2018 final.

PSG, in search of their first Women’s Champions League trophy, was looking to triumph in the top for the third time: he opposed Lyon in 2017 and lost to their French rival in the 2016 semi-finals.

The maximum will be played at the Anoeta de la Real Sociedad stadium in the northern city of San Sebastián, which hosts the mini-tour with the quarterfinals. All games were played without fans. The San Mamés stadium of Athletic Bilbao also hosted matches.
