Barcelona have won their second Women’s Champions League in three years after coming back from two goals down to beat VfL Wolfsburg 3-2 in a thrilling final before a sold-out crowd in Eindhoven.
Swedish defender Fridolina Rolfo struck the winning goal from close range in the 70th minute, rounding off a sensational comeback for Barcelona, who had been 2-0 down at halftime on Saturday.
Barcelona secured victory with two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas on the bench until the final stages, as she continues to find form after the knee injury that had sidelined her for most of the season.
“I’m so emotional, I never thought this would happen, at 2-0 [down] at the beginning, I felt we could do it, but it was so hard,” match-winner Rolfo told DAZN.
