Barcelona's triumph in the Spanish Women's First Division

They finished the domestic tournament in first place with 30 victories and no defeats.

Lyon, on the other hand, has lost two Champions League finals but has won the trophy seven times. In the 2018/19 season, the French team faced Barcelona in the same stage and easily won with a score of 4-1. Nowadays, they are no longer as superior and don't have an overwhelming difference compared to other clubs.
The French Women's First Division, unlike the Spanish league, has not ended yet, and the Lyon lionesses, despite leading the table, do not have a significant advantage over their closest pursuer, PSG. Lyon has 58 points, while Paris Saint-Germain has 53, with two matchdays remaining.
