Lucy Bronze’s Lyon refuses to underestimate Toni Duggan’s Barcelona

For the first time in its 10-year history, the Women’s Champions League final will stand alone from the men’s, which takes place in Madrid in two weeks’ time. 

In Budapest’s Ferencvaros Stadium, five-time champions Olympique Lyonnais face first-time finalists FC Barcelona aiming to become the first team since Real Madrid in 1960 to win four titles in succession.

Lyon captain Wendie Renard and goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi will play in an eighth European Cup final, equalling the record of Real Madrid’s Francisco Gento.
