Barcelona v Wolfsburg: Women’s Champions League final 2023 – live | Women’s Champions League

80 min: Leon takes the free kick but the resulting header is over. Barca make some changes with Pina and Crnogorcevic are on for Caldentey and Graham Hansen. Frohms touched the ball as it went over from the free kick, the corner comes in but Popp does well to defend to stop Bronze from getting a shot. Frohms is down injured and so the teams are getting some talks with coaches.

78 min: Barca get a free kick with Jonsdottir fouling Geyse, Jonsdottir cannot believe the decision has done against her. She gets a yellow for it. Geyse is back to her feet and okay to continue.

76 min: Geyse makes a great run in the box, she has been amazing since coming on, she passes to Bonmati who rattles off a chance but Frohms collects.

75 min: Jonsdottir is ran off the ball by the box but Wolfsburg win it back. Oberdorf thought she won a free kick but the decision went Barca’s way. Wolfsburg need to collect themselves now, they are losing every battle.

73 min: 33,147 fans in the stadium for this electric final! Wolfsburg have none of the momentum but all the work to do – the game has quite literally spun on its head.

71 min: The ball was quite literally pin balling around the box, they couldn’t get it away and Barca players stabbed at it. Frohms thought the chance was gone and didn’t get back quickly enough and they ball came to Rolfo who finished well. Wolfsburg makes a change with Roord off – I think a few Wolfsburg players thought this sub was being made and got distracted for the third Barca goal.

GOAL! Barcelona 3-2 Wolfsburg (Rolfo, 70′)

70 min: Oberdorf fouls Bronze and she remains down but the referee let’s play continue. Wolfsburg get in the box and Pajor gets a shot away, Panos punches away and then collects. Bronze is back to her feet and okay to continue. Barca make a change with Paralluelo off for Geyse.

69 min: Roord pops it to Pajor who rifles off a chance but Panos collects well. Bronze is fouled as Barca have a chance to clear some danger.

67 min: Graham Hansen expertly works the ball around Jonsdottir, the Norway international is cutting through the Wolfsburg defence like a hot knife through butter in this second half. The chance ends with Wolfsburg clearing it from the box.

66 min: Guijarro gives away possession in a good area and there is a lot of back and forth. Wolfsburg do well to get it into the box but it’s cleared by Barca. Popp doing really well in that sequence. There are calls for a penalty as Popp believes she was pushed in the box – there is VAR in operation so if there is something it will be found. I don’t think anything will be given, the Wolfsburg fans booing the decision.

64 min: Bronze does well to close down a long range pass from Popp, if she didn’t interrupt that Pajor would have had a great opportunity to put her side ahead again. Bonmati makes a great run but her resulting pass is poor and ends up at Wilms’ feet.

62 min: Wolfsburg block a cross but Barca come again, it is non stop from the Spanish giants.

61 min: Chelsea fans will want Barca to win as if they do the Blues go straight into the Champions League group stage next season. If they don’t they will have to come through qualification. Wolfsburg do well to deal with a Barca corner but they are threatening once more.

60 min: Roord fires a shot but it’s blocked easily and Barca are on the counter. Bronze puts in a great cross to Paralluelo is well tackled. Rolfo gets another cross in but Wolfsburg clears. Every time they are on the ball they look threatening now.

58 min: The atmosphere sounds like Barca are at home right now, ‘Barca’ chants. Non stop singing. Wolfsburg need to silence them. Wolfsburg are on the ball now, Wilms makes a pass but Jonsdottir’s cross in is blocked.

56 min: Please tell me I’m not the only one who is stunned by this game. Stunned by Wolfsburg’s dominance in the first half. Stunned by Barca’s lightning second half. The game has settled again but I now can’t see anyone but Barca winning.

54 min: Wolfsburg have a chance with but the cross has too much on it. Barcelona fans are raucous, the ‘allez’ chants are there. Wolfsburg need to settle or Barca will run away with this. The cross comes in from Barca and Frohms collects.

52 min: They nearly scored again! Hendrich does well to clear, it almost gets to Graham Hansen. I am stunned. STUNNED. I thought they would come back but not this quickly. Wow.

Here are the two goals that have set Wolfsburg on a path to Champions League success:

Half-time: Barcelona 0-2 Wolfsburg

45 + 2 min: Wow, what a save Frohms! Bronze gets a good delivery in the box and Paralluelo has a shot but Frohms closes it down.

45 min: A loose ball at the back almost sees Pajor score again! So close to a third but Panos collects before she gets a touch. There will be two minutes added.

44 min: Popp looks hurt after a clash with Paredes but she is okay to continue, she is still clutching her back as she walks into position. The tactics from Wolfsburg and execution of their game plan has been superb. Slick defending for the majority of the game and clinical attack. Pure footballing magic.

42 min: Putellas looks distraught on the bench. Bronze and Rauch having words for each other, the frustration from Barca is there but they have a corner. Leon pops it in but it’s cleared. It comes back in and the ball is pinging around the box but Huth clears and Wolfsburg are on the hunt. Leon does amazingly well to get back and fairly challenge Jonsdottir in the box.

40 min: Well Barcelona have had all the chances to get themselves on the scoreboard but they haven’t been clinical. Wolfsburg get a chance and convert. That goal could have sealed the title for them. Barca rocked.

38 min: The goal stands! The nightmares from last year’s final ringing in Barca’s ears now. They have so much to do to win this now.

GOAL! Barcelona 0-2 Wolfsburg (Popp, 27′)

37 min: Jondottir is doing a fantastic job on the wing in defence, she has had to deal with a lot. Bronze gets it into the box and Wilms blocks and Frohms collects. The frustration from Barca is palpable, they have everything right at the moment it’s just the last touch that isn’t connecting.

35 min: Leon pops it into the box and Graham Hansen has it at her feet but Frohms makes sure it stays out of goal, that is their closest chance so far. Barca are coming again but Rolfo’s chance ends in the keeper’s hands.

34 min: Bonmati gets a yellow card for a challenge on Huth and Wolfsburg have a free kick. It’s in their own half though and so not a scoreable opportunity. It’s sent upfield but Barca win it back.

32 min: Guijarro spots Frohms off her line and she tries a long range shot but the keeper gets back to collect. It’s so back and forth at the moment!

30 min: Barca get another free kick, to the boos of the crowd! Graham Hansen takes the set piece but it is just over. Wolfsburg are weathering the Barca storm but can they keep it up?

28 min: Jonsdottir rifles off a long range powerful shot but Panos saves, if that went in it would have been a stunner! Hendrich fouls and Barca takes the free kick quickly, Wolfsburg disrupts the attack but the Spanish team are quickly in a good position. Bonmati gets the ball at her feet in the box but Wilms blocks. They are getting closer!

26 min: Kari has got in touch on email and said: “I thought that Wolfsburg’s goal would be the proverbial ‘goal scored too early’, and expected them to sit back and protect their lead. However, if anything, they’ve been the more threatening side, especially through Sveindís Jónsdóttir on the right.” I agree, while they have been forced to do a lot of defending since the goal they aren’t sitting on their laurels thinking they have the trophy already. Back to the game and Paralluelo gives away a cheap ball.

24 min: Barca are confidently playing out the back despite the early error leading to the goal. They are growing into this one, Wolfsburg need to capitalise on their momentum. Bonmati creates an attack but she is ruled offside.
