Barcelona Femeni are champions of Europe for the second time after beating Wolfsburg in a classic Champions League final in Eindhoven. The German side raced into a 2-0 first-half lead through Ewa Pajor and Alexandra Popp but a quick-fire double from Patricia Guijarro levelled the scores. The comeback was complete when Fridolina Rolfo fired home.

FC Barcelona came back from 2-0 down to beat Wolfsburg 3-2 and lift their second UEFA Women's Champions League trophy.
Wolfsburg took the lead after just 2 minutes and 57 seconds thanks to a stunning strike from Ewa Pajor. The Polish international won the ball on the edge of the box before unleashing a terrific effort which Sandra Panos couldn't keep out.

Patricia Guijarro is the hero of the 2022/23 UEFA Women's Champions League final and a worthy winner of the Player of the Match award. Her two goals in three minutes at the start of the second half completely rocked Wolfsburg and allowed Barcelona to get on terms. She took both her goals well, helped progress Barcelona up the pitch with her crisp and accurate passing and was an influential figure all afternoon.
