UEFA.com is at Craven Cottage for the second edition of our Champions Week magazine show. Home of Fulham FC, the west London stadium hosts the UEFA Women's Champions League final tonight as France's Olympique Lyonnais take on German side 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam, the European titleholders.
The teams met 12 months ago, with Potsdam prevailing 7-6 on penalties after an action-packed showpiece somehow ended 0-0. We speak to Lyon's scoring sensation Lotta Schelin, hoping to make the difference after missing last year's game through injury. Potsdam coach Bernd Schröder has other ideas; his hunger for silverware remains unsated after 40 years in women's football.
It is a big deal for referee Dagmar Damková too, who completes a hat-trick having already taken charge of a UEFA European Women's Championship final and the 2008 Olympic final. Wembley and Saturday's UEFA Champions League decider are never far from our thoughts, however, and Johan Cruyff takes us down memory lane to 1971 when AFC Ajax reigned supreme in north London.
This is the second of UEFA.com's four-part magazine series celebrating Champions Week in London.
