So Barça are in the final once more, where they will play Lyon or PSG on 21 May in Turin. But that was a long way from being the procession or nonevent we might have feared. Pajor and Jonsdottir in particular were tirelessly excellent for a Wolfsburg team who found more openings as the match progressed. Barcelona were never at their best but even their characteristic poise and control deserted them at times in the second half. Nonetheless, they remain favourites to retain their crown.

Who will face them? To find out, go here, where Rob Smyth will take you through a well-poised second leg between PSG and Lyon. There’s much to look forward to. Thanks for following. Bye.
