The 2025-26 Women's Champions League is building to a crescendo, as Barcelona face OL Lyonnes for Europe's top prize in Oslo.
The record eight-time winners edged holders Arsenal 4-3 on aggregate in a tantalising semifinal, mounting an impressive comeback after trailing 2-1 in the first leg.
Barça played out a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich but showed their class at Camp Nou, with a 4-2 win to reach an unprecedented sixth successive final.
With two heavyweights going blow for blow, it is possible the tie may not be settled across 90 minutes.
So to answer the big question...
Is there extra-time in the UWCL?
Yes, there is. If the score is level at the end of normal time, we'll have an extra 30 minutes of action. If the game still hasn't been decided, it goes into a penalty shootout.
Amazingly, all the knockout games from last season were decided without extra-time.
Is the away-goal rule there?
The away-goal rule states that if scores are level, the team with the greater number of away goals progresses into the next round.
However, as was the case in the men's game, this rule was abolished from the 2021-22 season onwards.

In the 2020-21 season, OL Lyonnes were knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain on away goals. Their elimination brought an end to their run of five successive UWCL triumphs.
The last final to be decided on penalties was between these two sides, with PSG going on to win 7-6 in the shootout.
