There were more joyous scenes after the final whistle as the players once again savored the experience of playing in front of a full house in the Camp Nou.

Barca will play the second leg in Germany on Saturday, April 30. The winners of the tie will progress to a final against either Lyon or Paris Saint-Germain.

The UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) was previously called the UEFA Women's Cup (2001–2009). It is a European women's association football competition involving the top club teams from countries affiliated with the European governing body UEFA. The competition was first played in 2001–02 and renamed the Women's Champions League in the 2009–10 edition. There were two huge changes in 2009. UEFA included runners-up from the top eight ranked nations, and a one-off final as opposed to the two-legged finals in previous years. Later in the 2021–22 season, the competition included a group stage for the first time in the UWCL era.

UEFA Player Of The Year: Winner's List

UEFA announced its Men's and Women's, UEFA Player of the Year for 2023 at the 2023/24 Champions League group-stage draw ceremony.

UEFA Player Of The Year: Winner's List

UEFA announced its Men's and Women's, UEFA Player of the Year for 2023 at the 2023/24 Champions League group-stage draw ceremony.

Lionel Messi was once again in the running for the men's prize and aiming to pull level with long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo by clinching the award for the third time, after inspiring Argentina to World Cup glory and collecting another Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain before moving on to Inter Miami.

Erling Haaland, who won the UEFA Player of the Year award on Thursday, has joined the list of elite footballers who have reached this feat in previous years.

The Manchester City striker was voted ahead of Kevin de Bruyne and Lionel Messi.

Haaland helped his Manchester City side achieve a treble victory, scoring 52 goals in 53 games.

Alexia Putellas' two-year reign as the women's winner came to an end, but a fellow Spanish World Cup winner succeeded her. Aitana Bonmati took the award, which quickly followed her Golden Ball prize at the World Cup earlier this month, where she struck three goals and assisted two more. 

Bonmati excelled with the all-conquering Barcelona side last season before starring alongside Olga Carmona, the World Cup final match-winner, who was also nominated for UEFA's award. Australia and Chelsea star Sam Kerr rounded out the contenders.

UEFA Women's Champions League final: Barcelona Femini win the UEFA Champions League 3-2 comeback over Wolfsburg

UEFA Women's Champions League final: Barcelona Femini win the UEFA Champions League 3-2 comeback over Wolfsburg

Barcelona won a second UEFA Women's Champions League title after coming from behind in stunning fashion to beat German giants Wolfsburg.

Barcelona Femini vs Wolfsburg Women's: UEFA Women's Champions League: Match Summary

The Spanish champions trailed 2-0 at half-time before Patri Guijarro's two-minute brace pulled them level.

Spurred on by their instant response in the second half, Barcelona piled on the pressure and were eventually rewarded.

Fridolina Rolfo got the winner, thumping it into the roof of the net from close range with 20 minutes left.

After losing their crown to Lyon in last year's final, Barcelona travelled to Eindhoven as favourites against a very strong Wolfsburg side, who were seeking a third European trophy in 10 years.

Wolfsburg got off to the perfect start when competition top scorer Ewa Pajor robbed the ball off England defender Lucy Bronze, returning after knee surgery in April, to drive in the opener.

Germany international Alexandra Popp was then set-up by Pajor with a teasing cross - the striker making no mistake as she headed in Wolfsburg's second.

Barcelona had lacked fluency and patience in the first half but it was no surprise they bounced back, displaying the quality of football that helped them reach a fourth final in five seasons.

Among Barcelona's winners was England midfielder Keira Walsh, who picked up her first European title, while Bronze became the first English woman to win the trophy with two different clubs after winning it on three consecutive occasions with former club Lyon between 2018 and 2020.

Leo Messi will leave PSG this summer.

Lionel Messi is increasingly likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract runs out this summer and might join Barcelona.

Apr 4, 2023, 6:37 PM2 min read

Leo Messi will leave PSG this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly decided to part ways with Lionel Messi after talks over a new deal broke down.

The Argentina superstar has been locked in negotiations with the Ligue 1 champions since returning from Qatar as a world champion and his stock still high despite his advancing years. Now 35, he has 18 goals and 17 assists at club level and inspired his country to World Cup glory with an incredible seven goals in the middle east.

It had seemed likely he would extend his stay in Paris beyond the end of the 2022/23 season but talks have rumbled on and, with no conclusion seemingly imminent, it's reported his club have pulled a deal off the table. RMC Sport say they want to get rid of one of the superstar trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, and it's the latter who is set to depart when his deal is up. It's likely to ramp up talk of a return to Barcelona with his former teammate Xavi making no secret of his desire to bring him back.

Lionel Messi has been booed at times by PSG fans this season and Thierry Henry says he should return to Barca. He said: "You can't whistle one of the best players on the team, who has 13 goals and 13 assists this season. Personally, I would like to see him finish his career at Barcelona, in Europe.

"After that, I don't know what he will do. Because the way he left Barcelona after everything he did. I didn't really like it. For the love of football, he should go back to Barcelona."

Lionel Messi still believes that he can play at the highest level in Europe and Barcelona have made no secret of their desire to re-sign him this summer.

It remains to be seen whether they can afford to offer him a new contract, but he is much more likely to stay in Europe than move to Inter Miami - or any other MLS club - or Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career.

Barca News: Barcelona Femeni thrash Real Madrid Femenino 0-4

In Barca News, Barcelona Femeni continued their title defence in the league this season, as they took on Real Madrid Femenino.

Nov 7, 2022, 6:45 AM2 min read

In Barca News, Barcelona Femeni continued their title defence in the league this season, as they took on Real Madrid Femenino for the first El Clasico of the season.

The Catalans were on a 12-game winning streak, with their last loss coming against Bayern Munich during pre-season.

Today, they did not hold back against Clasico rivals, beating them 0-4 in Madrid, with two goals coming in each half.

Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic opened the scoring for Barcelona in the fourth minute, courtesy of an assist from Patricia Guijarro. Nearly 40 minutes later, ace centre-back Mapi Leon set up Guijarro to double the lead.

Frankly, Madrid were lucky to only concede two thus far. However, their luck soon caught up with them as Aitana Bonmati scored the third in the 52nd minute, with Ana-Maria claiming the assist.

With nine minutes of regulation time left, left-back Fridolina Rolfo buried Madrid with the fourth goal of the game.

Barcelona have continued their faultless 2022/23 season, scoring 29 goals in the league, while conceding just two. They are also two-for-two in the Champions League, with a bizarre 13 goals scored.

Match Stats:

Real Madrid, 0
Barça, 4

Reaal Madrid: Misa, Teresa (Maite, min 71), Rocío, Toletti (Olga, min 50), Esther (Nahikari, min 50), Weir, Kathellen, Lucía, Zornoza, Athenea and Svava (Caroline, min 71).
