- Stina Blackstenius' 74th-minute strike was enough to seal victory for the England side at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon
- The total prize pool for the 2025 Women’s League is €24 million, significantly less than the men’s competition
Arsenal Women produced a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Barcelona Femeni to win the 2025 UEFA Women’s League on May 24, 2025, at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon, Portugal.
Stina Blackstenius netted the decisive goal to upset the reigning champions, who were aiming for a third consecutive title.
Despite the significant prize money earned, it pales in comparison to next season’s rewards following UEFA’s announced 156% increase for the women's competition.

England captain Leah Williamson was outstanding during the encounter, thwarting Barcelona’s attacks, while their Ballon d’Or winners, Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas, struggled to make an impact.
The Gunners’ path to glory included a dramatic semi-final comeback, overturning a home loss to Lyon with a 4-1 win in France.
Barcelona, meanwhile, dominated Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals, despite Chelsea’s unbeaten domestic season under Sonia Bompastor.
