Barcelona Femení arrive in Eindhoven, Netherlands for the 2023 Women’s Champions League Final at the end of what has undoubtedly been their most difficult season in recent years — for their own ridiculous standards.
They are still clearly the best team in the world, but for most of this calendar year they haven’t looked quite as dominant as they did in the two prior seasons — when they completely destroyed both Spain and Europe, scored over 350 combined goals and had only one bad night against Lyon that denied a second Champions League title in a row and ended a perfect season.
