7.45pm CEST: The Barça players have trained in the Ferencváros Stadium, venue of Saturday's final.

7.00pm CEST: The official press conferences are over, and here's what the Barça representatives had to say:

Lluis Cortés (coach): “We’re feeling good. Getting to the final is a reward in itself and whatever happens, this is just the start of a long process. A clean sheet would be a good sign. We are working well in defence, we have the best goalie in the league and if we have the ball they won’t be able to create chances.

Lieke Martens: “We know Olympique have very good players but I feel good about my team and we are highly motivated. I’m very happy at this club. I want to stay here for another year.”

Vickey Losada: “Olympique are an incredible team but we know them better now we have played them. We have also been doing very well, and we’ll try to impose our style. Whatever happens in this game, we know this is just the beginning of something that can only lead to good things.”

6.00pm CEST: Olympique Lyon are training in the Ferencváros Stadium. FC Barcelona will be doing likewise from around 7.30pm.

5.40pm CEST: Lyon coach Reynald Pedros tells his press conference that the team is anything but complacent just because they have won the last three editions of this tournament: "Obviously we are the team to beat, but this is a 50-50 game. Barça are quite capable of beating us and we need to put out the right ingredients to make sure we keep the trophy".

1.00pm CEST - Ahead of tomorrow's game, we take a look at Barça Women's opponents, Olympique Lyonnais. 

11.15am CEST - The squad took a walk along the banks of the Danube on Friday morning before posing for a group photo.

At present, the team are eating breakfast at the hotel, and listening to a tactical briefing. This is the plan for Friday:
