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 the now-ended run of five in a row from 2016 to 2020 which matched 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 been overtaken by three Lyon players.
