Lyon will play Barcelona in the final of the Women’s Champions League after beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the semifinal second leg and 5-3 on aggregate. Selma Bacha and Melchie Dumornay scored for the visitors on Sunday. Tabitha Chawinga got PSG's goal.

Lyon’s Melchie Dumornay, center, celebrates with Selma Bacha and Amel Majri, left, after scoring her side’s second goal during the women’s Champions League semifinal, second leg, soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyon nais at Parc des Princes, in Paris, Sunday, April 28, 2024.

Lyon nearly doubled the lead in the 34th but PSG goalkeeper Constance Picaud pulled off an outstanding save to prevent her teammate Jade Le Guilly from scoring an own-goal. PSG capitalized on a Lyon turnover in midfield to equalize with an angled strike from Tabitha Chawinga into the far corner in the 41st.

Picaud kept PSG in the game by tipping a shot from France forward Kadidiatou Diani over the bar in the 43rd, denying Dumornay in the 52nd and parrying shots from Amel Majri and Dumornay in the 65th. Lyon put the overall result beyond doubt in the 81st when Majri cushioned a cross into the path of Dumornay, who guided the ball into the bottom corner.
