They beat the runners-up of last season 4-1 thanks to an own goal from Christiane Endler and strikes from Mariona Caldentey, Alessia Russo and Caitlin Foord.

The final in May will be the first of Slegers's young management career. The 36-year-old was delighted with her team's success as they reached a European final at her first attempt. "I'm so proud of the whole team," she said. "I am so happy for everyone that we have achieved this. It's a team performance and I don't take myself out of the team. There is so much work that has been done before both to qualify this season and also all the work the club has done through many years to get us into this position. It is so good as an organisation to be able to compete in this final."
