Lyon Reaches Fifth Straight Women’s Champions League Final

AN SEBASTIÁN, Spain (AP) — Lyon reached the final of the women’s Champions League for the fifth straight time Wednesday after Wendie Renard scored with a 67th-minute header to secure a 1–0 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Lyon will seek its fifth consecutive title in Sunday’s final against Wolfsburg, which defeated Barcelona in the other semifinal on Tuesday.

Both teams finished the match with 10 players. PSG’s Grace Geyoro was sent off in the 66th and Lyon’s Nikita Parris was ejected in the 75th, both with second yellow cards.

Wolfsburg will be trying to win its third European title after back-to-back triumphs in 2013 and 2014.
