Lyon earned a record-extending eighth Women's Champions League trophy after beating defending champion Barcelona 3-1 in Saturday's final.

The French side has taken eight of the past 12 editions of the Women's Champions League. Captain Wendie Renard, Sarah Bouhaddi and Eugenie Le Sommer have been part of all those successes.Then Lyon stunned with goals by Amandine Henry, a header from Ada Hegerberg — the league's all-time leading scorer — and a tap-in from Catarina Macario.

A fantastic solo effort got Lyon rolling in the sixth minute. Henry slid into a tackle and swiftly got up to collect the ball, cut inside, and curl a 30-yard shot into the top right corner. It was a fitting way for Hegerberg to crown her comeback season. She returned in October after almost two years on the sidelines with injuries.
