BUDAPEST, Hungary — Lyon beat Barcelona 4-1 in the final to win its fourth consecutive Women’s Champions League on Saturday. Ada Hegerberg scored three times in the first half to star for the French squad, which also won its sixth Champions League crown since 2011. Dzsenifer Marozsan, also the captain of Germany, opened the scoring in the fifth minute, with local fans in Ferencvaros Stadion giving the Budapest-born midfielder a huge ovation. Van de Sanden, who also assisted on Marozsan’s goal, was a constant threat on the right side, her speed posing a major challenge for the Barcelona defence. Only Barcelona substitute Asisat Oshoala was able to breach Lyon’s goal, scoring in the 89th on a three-on-three counterattack in a match otherwise easily dominated by the speedy Lyon.
