The UEFA Women’s Champions League is finally wrapped up after an elongated season due to the coronavirus pandemic struck the world and stopped football in March. After seeing the last few games of the UEFA Champions League being played out in the last 10 days, the 2019/20 season finally crowned their champion. Champions of Division 1 Feminine Olympique Lyon Feminin and Frauen-Bundesliga Wolfsburg contested the latest final in what was predicted to be such an enthralling and exhilarating final.
This tactical analysis will detail the tactics and methods used by Olympique Lyon Feminin to win the tournament and peg back their German rivals Wolfsburg.
Lineups
Jean Luc Vasseur only had two selections to consider with his team playing brilliantly in the runup to the final. Amandine Henry and Nikita Parris were both unavailable for different reasons. Henry fell to a calf injury that kept her out of the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain and 45 minutes against Bayern Munich. Her natural replacement in Sara Gunnardottir was more than able to step in. Parris, though, was suspended after being sent off in the semi-final, which forced him to make a decision between Jodie Taylor or Eugenie Le Sommer. The French forward lacked sufficient match fitness after recovering from injury but was chosen ahead of the English striker and proved to be a masterstroke.
Wolfsburg made two changes, both in defence: Anna Blässe and Lena Goessling replaced Kathrin-Julia Hendrich and Joelle Wedemeyer.
