Matildas defender Ellie Carpenter has become the first Australian woman to qualify for two Champions League finals after her French club Olympique Lyonnais beat domestic rivals Paris Saint-Germain to book their spot in the big dance against reigning title-holders Barcelona later this month.
Lyon won both of their semi-final legs against PSG — who bundled them out of last year's competition at the quarter-final stage - to win 5-3 on aggregate last weekend and make it through to their record-extending tenth UWCL final, which will be held in Turin on May 22.
