The invention relates to a wind turbine blade for a wind turbine, having a tip end area, a tip end and a root end area and a lightning protection system. The lightning protection system comprises at least one metal foil, wherein said metal foil extends continuously from a first end in the tip end area towards the root end area of the blade and wherein the metal foil is arranged in proximity to the outer surface of the blade, so that the metal foil is adapted to function as a receptor of a stroke of lightning and as a down conductor. The lightning protection system further comprises a first metallic lightning receptor being in direct electrical contact with the metal foil, wherein the first metallic lightning receptor is disposed in proximity to the outer surface of the blade and between the first end of the metal foil and the blade tip end.
