2020 final highlights: Wolfsburg 1-3 Lyon
In October 2019, Lyon became the first club to play 100 matches in UEFA women's club competition, a 4-0 win away to Fortuna Hjørring in the first leg of the round of 16. From that opening game in what was then known as the UEFA Women's Cup – a 12-0 defeat of Slovakia's Slovan Duslo Šala in Strumica – they may not have improved on their margin of victory but have gone on to claim most of the club records in the competition, not least their seven titles, including a current run of five in a row which matches Real Madrid's male record from the first years of the European Cup. Paco Gento was in that team; his record of six European club titles has now been overtaken by three Lyon players.
