It was a second Champions League final for Barcelona and the lessons learned from their previous experience proved invaluable this time round. Against seven-time winners Lyon in 2019 they found themselves 3-0 down inside 20 minutes before going on to lose 4-1.Two years later and it was they who were handing out that punishment, showing that ruthless edge that Chelsea do not yet have on the highest European stage. Barcelona's triumph brings an end to Lyon's run of five Champions League titles in a row.
