MADRID - Traditional Women's Champions League rivals Wolfsburg and Olympique Lyon will go head to head in the Champions League final in Real Sociedad's Anoeta Stadium on Sunday night.

Both sides go into the game unbeaten this season and with a history of meetings in the competition after playing each other in the 2013, 2016 and the 2018 finals. Wolfsburg won in 2013, but Lyon have triumphed every time since then also beat the Germans in last season's quarterfinals.

Lyon reached the final after a 1-0 win against Paris Saint German, while Wolfsburg were lucky to beat an impressive FC Barcelona by the same result, thanks to a goal from Swedish forward Fridolina Rolfo.

Defending champions Lyon are playing their ninth final in the last 11 years and have won the last four titles, meaning they would emulate the achievement of the Real Madrid men's side from the 1950's if they can claim a fifth consecutive European crown.

The French team is unbeaten in 24 Champions League ties and has not lost outside of France since Wolfsburg defeated them in 2013, but will be at a slight disadvantage after playing their two previous games in Bilbao, while Wolfsburg played at Anoeta and will thus know the final venue a bit better.

"Lyon are the top European side who have dominated over the last few years and I have a lot of respect for them. I think they benefit from having a very settled side who have grown closer over the years. They're very familiar with these big games like finals," commented Wolfsburg coach Stephan Lerch.

Meanwhile, Lyon coach Jean-Luc Vasseur said that his side had enjoyed their semifinal win over PSG, but warned that Lyon had "not reached the end as there is still the final to play."
