BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Aitana Bonmatí returned after five months out with injury as Barcelona reached the Women’s Champions League final for the sixth straight year with a 4-2 win over Bayern Munich on Sunday. Alexia Putellas scored twice and Salma Paralluelo and Ewa Pajor got one each for Barcelona to advance 5-3 on aggregate after the sides drew the first leg of their semifinal 1-1 in Munich last weekend. The seven-time Spanish champion will play OL Lyonnes in the final in Oslo on May 23 after the French team defeated title holder Arsenal in their semifinal on Saturday. The home fans' biggest cheer on Sunday came when Bonmatí made her entrance as a substitute in the 68th minute to return after breaking her leg. The three-time Ballon d’Or winner broke her left fibula while training on international duty. Bayern threatened a late comeback. Linda Dallmann had equalized early and Pernille Harder pulled one back to restore some Bayern hope in the 71st. Cato Coll produced a fingertip save to deny a fierce strike from Klara Bühl as the German powerhouse pushed for more. Dallmann also hit the crossbar. Harder had another goal ruled out late through VAR for an apparent foul in the buildup. \\_ AP soccer:
