Mapi León and Ingrid Engen Face Off in Oslo Final

Barcelona striker Mapi León and Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Ingrid Engen will meet in the Champions League final on Saturday in Oslo. The match will decide the European champion for the 2023‑24 season. León has been a key player for Barcelona, while Engen represents the French side Lyon. Both athletes are established internationals. The two women have been in a romantic relationship since they played together at Barcelona for four seasons. Their partnership continued after Engen left the club. Engen signed with Lyon as a free agent last summer, joining the multi‑billion‑dollar project owned by Michele Kang. The French club is coached by Jonatan Giráldez and overseen by Markel Zubizarreta, both formerly linked to Barcelona. The move places the couple on opposite sides of the final, an unusual situation for a Champions League showdown. Their personal connection adds a unique storyline to the contest. Both players addressed the circumstance in a video posted on their social media accounts, speaking openly about the upcoming match. They described the situation as natural and expressed mutual support. The Oslo final will be the first time the pair face each other in a major European final, highlighting both their professional achievements and personal bond.
