Barcelona won their second Women's Champions League in three years on Saturday when they came back from two goals down to beat VfL Wolfsburg 3-2 in a thrilling final before a sold-out crowd in Eindhoven.
Swedish defender Fridolina Rolfo struck the winning goal from close range in the 70th minute, rounding off a sensational comeback for Barcelona who had been 2-0 down at halftime.
They had threatened to score in the opening minutes, before Polish striker Ewa Pajor put Wolfsburg ahead in the third minute after pressuring Barcelona's English defender Lucy Bronze into losing possession. Two minutes later, Graham Hansen swung in a cross from the right-hand side to Guijarro who headed in the equaliser.
"Today it was me, but it was everyone's hunger and belief in ourselves that helped us through it," goalscorer Guijarro told the post-match press conference.
