Lyon lift European crown again

Eu genie Le So mm er, Saki Ku ma ga i and Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir fired record-breaking Lyon to their fifth successive Women’s Champions League title with a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg in Spain last night.

Lyon made light of bigname absentees like Ad a Hegerberg and Nikita Parris to defeat Wolfsburg for a third time in the Champions League final.

Alex Popp hit back for the German side with a smart header, but Lyon were too strong, toosavvy and too collected – and Iceland midfielder Gunnarsdottir rubber-stamped the win with a late third.

Lyon had to battle hard but fully merited their record seventh Champions League success, in their ninth final in 11 years.

England’ s Lucy Bronze finished her Lyon career in style, bowing out with a hattrick of European titles.

The 28- year-old has yet to reveal her next destination, but sealed the ideal exit as Lyon prevailed in San Sebastian.
