A final won without trembling by the players of Olympique Lyonnais. Dominating and in control, the Fenottes won 3-1 this Saturday in Turin against FC Barcelona in the final of the Women’s Champions League. The eighth coronation in the competition for the French club. A record.
Only in this evening, almost perfect moreover, there are some black spots. In particular the injury of Ellie Carpenter. The Australian was injured early in the game. She left the field at first, before returning after several minutes. A return that will not last long since the defender of Olympique Lyonnais collapses – literally – a few minutes later. Ellie Carpenter forced to leave her place even before the quarter of an hour of play during this Champions League final, and this clash between the two best European clubs.

The usual defender of the right lane, and author of 29 games this season with OL, will be unavailable for at least six months.
