Lyon vs. Barcelona: Match Preview

Both clubs have been in terrific form as of late. Although Barcelona couldn't manage to win Spain's Primera Division as they came in second by six points to Atletico Madrid, they still closed out the remainder of their schedule with wins in 12 of their last 13 matches as they prepare for their first UWCL final.

They're led by forward Alexia Putellas, who scored 17 goals between the domestic league and UWCL this season. Another standout performer is goalkeeper Sandra Panos, who was the best keeper in Spain this season in terms of fewest goals allowed per match (0.41 goals conceded per match average over 30 games). She's managed to keep a clean sheet in seven of Barca's eight UWCL matches, with her side outscoring their competition 18-3 in that span.

Just look at this absurd save Panos made in the semifinals against Bayern Munich:

Meanwhile, Lyon is having a season for the record books. The French side is yet to lose in any competition this season as they've won a remarkable 32 of 35 total matches. The only blemish on their UWCL resume is a draw in the second leg of the semifinals against Chelsea.

A dynamic duo up top leads the way for Lyon as Eugenie Le Sommer and Ada Hegerberg, two of the top ten all-time scorers in the UWCL, scored a combined 33 league goals in the Division 1 Feminine to propel Lyon to their thirteenth straight domestic league title. A win on Saturday would give the club their fourth straight UWCL title and sixth overall, the most of any team. They've outscored European foes 29-5 in just eight matches this season.

Club legend Wendie Renard, who has been with Lyon since 2006, is set to make history in Budapest win or lose.
