Barça will celebrate the Champions League on Maria Cristina Avenue and in Plaza España

BarcelonaBarça plays this Saturday, May 23 (6:00 PM) the most important match of the season, the Champions League final in Oslo. The rival, a European classic, Olympique de Lyon. The azulgrana club is finalizing details for a possible celebration in Barcelona for the following day, Sunday afternoon, once the players arrive from Norway. It will not be a parade like the men's team did a few weeks ago, but a party with the fans in Plaza España and Avenida Maria Cristina, as ARA has been able to learn.

A different setting where the third Champions League was celebrated —won in 2024 in Bilbao—. On that occasion, the event was held in Plaza Sant Jaume, where the then acting President of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, and the Mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, received the team, then coached by Jonatan Giráldez, at the Palau de la Generalitat and Barcelona City Hall.

Precisely, the Galician coach will now be Barça's rival in the Champions League final. Catalans and French will face each other for the fourth time in a European final. So far, Lyon has won two (Budapest 2019 and Turin 2022), while Barça has only managed to win on one occasion, in Bilbao in 2024. To date, this is the only match in which the azulgranas have been able to defeat Michelle Kang's team.
