    Barcelona 3-2 Wolfsburg

    The free kick following that break in play is headed over by a Wolfsburg player, corner to Barca.

    Before that, a double Barca change - Mariona Caldentey makes way for Claudia Pina, while the superb Caroline Graham Hansen is replaced by Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic.

    That's a name I'm going to copy and paste.

    Geyse is welcomed to the game by a late challenge from Sveindis Jonsdottir.

    The Wolfsburg player is booked, the Barcelona woman gets some treatment but can continue.

    Barcelona have been great in the second half, but that third goal was an absolute sucker punch.

    Wolfsburg had started to take control in the previous five minutes, but totally shot themselves in the foot with comical defending.

    Now Barca are after a fourth. Aitana Bonmati's shot from 20 yards is straight at Merle Frohms.

  5. 'Catalogue of errors'published at 16:32 British Summer Time 3 June 2023

    Barcelona 3-2 Wolfsburg

    Former Leeds striker Lucy Ward on Dazn: “I just think Wolfsburg lost a little bit of concentration there. They thought that a substitution was going to be made.

    "Barcelona, when they get in those positions, absolutely ruthless again. It was a catalogue of errors from Wolfsburg. That was mistakes from their own making - although a terrific finish from Fridolina Rolfo."

  6. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 3 June 2023

    Changes for both sides in recent minutes.

    Just before the Rolfo goal, Geyse replaced Salma Paralluelo for Barcelona.

    Just after it, Lena Lattwein came on for Jill Roord for Wolfsburg.

    Fridolina Rolfo (71 mins)

    What a comeback!

    It's a defensive nightmare for Wolfsburg - right back Lynn Wilms fires the ball straight into her centre back Kathrin Hendrich, and Barcelona swarm on the loose ball.

    It falls to left back Fridolina Rolfo who, as she has all game, is up from defence and she fires home.

  8. 'Barcelona have come in waves'published at 16:29 British Summer Time 3 June 2023

    Barcelona 2-2 Wolfsburg

    Former Leeds striker Lucy Ward on Dazn: “Wolfsburg have tightened up a little bit since the second goal. Barcelona have come in waves - a really strong wave at the start of the second half and got the two goals. Now they have to pick their moments well."

    Suddenly it is Wolfsburg making all the running.

    Lucy Bronze is tackled high up the pitch, the ball is played down the Wolfsburg left quickly to Ewe Pajor in plenty of space.

    She strikes it well, but again straight at Panos who parries away.

    Now a very presentable chance for Wolfsburg!

    They work the ball well out to the left and Jill Roord slips in Ewe Pajor, however the Barca defence does well to force her wide.

    Pajor does get a shot off, but straight at Sandra Panos.

    A rare foray forward from Wolfsburg, as Ewe Pajor capitalises on some loose play by Lucy Bronze.

    Alex Popp does her best to reach the through ball, and manages to harass the Barca defence into conceding a throw.

    It comes in long, and Popp goes down in the area! Wolfsburg say push, the ref says goal kick.

    One of the things Barca seem to have been told at half time is to get the ball to Caroline Graham Hansen more.

    It is advice they have taken to heart. The Norwegian is running the show in the second half.

    Barcelona 2-2 Wolfsburg

    As in the first half, Barca are bossing possession and playing plenty of football in the Wolfsburg half.

    Unlike in the first half, there is a real underlying sense of menace and purpose about their play.

    Wolfsburg have at least managed to slow the game slightly after that lightning start to the second period.

    It looked as if Barcelona could score at will, but now we are back on a more even keel.

  15. 'Wolfsburg are wobbling'published at 16:13 British Summer Time 3 June 2023

    Barcelona 2-2 Wolfsburg

    Former Leeds striker Lucy Ward on Dazn: “One half of football work destroyed in just under five minutes. Ruthless. That's the bit they didn't do well in the first half - they didn't attack the ball when in good areas. Both goals have come from that right-hand side.

    "Guijarro arrives late in the box and nobody is tracking her. For both goals she arrives late in the box. Barcelona couldn't come out and play any worse than they did in the first half.

    "Wolfsburg are wobbling. They need to do something otherwise Barcelona are going to run away with it."

    Fridolina Rolfo with a cross from the left, straight into the arms of Merle Frohms who will be delighted to get a feel of the ball after conceding two goals so quickly.

    Whatever Barcelona manager Jonatan Giraldez said at half time, he needs to write it down because it has absolutely worked.

    For the first time, we can hear the Barca fans in full voice.

    Turnaround complete.

    Guijarro, for the second time in a few minutes, is not tracked as she makes a run into the box from midfield.

    This time, she nods in a header following a cross from the right, totally unmarked around eight yards out.

    All of Wolfsburg's good work has evaporated.

    Barcelona are all over Wolfsburg!

    They stream forward again, however Salma Paralluelo fires over from the edge of the area.

    The real Barca have finally turned up.

    Just what Barca needed!

    Guijarro plays it wide right from midfield to Caroline Graham Hansen, who shimmies past her defender and fires in a near post cross which the onrushing midfielder guides into the roof of the net.

    Game. On.
