Barcelona and Lyon will meet in the Women's Champions League final for the joint-highest fourth time at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo on Saturday evening.

Lyon were knocked out by the Gunners in last season's semi-final, but beat them this time around to reach a 12th final, having won it eight times before – more than any other team.

Barcelona are no strangers to winning domestic silverware, having wrapped up the Liga F title fairly early with a remarkable record and also picking up the Copa de la Reina.
However, being so dominant in Spain, they always target the Champions League to try and cement themselves as the best team in Europe.
Pajor is the joint-top scorer in the Champions League (nine).
Barca have won it three times already, and having reached a sixth successive final, expectations will be on them to wrestle back the title for a fourth time after losing it to Arsenal last season.
Pere Romeu will also be able to select Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati after injury, but there are doubts over Graham Hansen, and Laia Aleixandri remains ruled out.
Lyon are engaged in the Arkema PL play-offs, but did top the table after 22 games, and also won both domestic cups.
A quadruple is certainly on the cards for a team that have won the Champions League eight times – nobody comes close to their total in the women's game.
Barcelona's last two wins have been by a 3-1 scoreline.
Jonatan Giraldez will also want to get one over on his former club Barcelona, who will no doubt be the favourites heading into the final.
Lyon also have a few injury doubts to worry about in the form of Teagan Micah, Junttila Nelhage and Ines Benyahia, while Liana Joseph and Kadidiatou Diani continue to be ruled out.
