Lyon beat Barcelona 4-1 to win the Women’s Champions League as Lucy Bronze triumphed over England team-mate Toni Duggan.

A first-half hat-trick from Norwegian Ada Hegerberg fired Lyon to their fourth straight Champions League title at Budapest's Groupama Arena.

Lyon established their dominance from the outset and took a fifth-minute lead when Dutch winger Shanice van de Sanden's low cross was confidently converted by Budapest-born German international Dzsenifer Marozsan.

Nine minutes later Hegerberg made no mistake from another low cross from Van de Sanden after Bronze had set up the counter-attack with a strong breakout from the back.

Barca and Duggan struggled to get any kind of foothold in the game and it was 3-0 in the 19th minute when Amel Majri's low ball from the left was driven home first time by 2018 Ballon d'Or winner Hegerberg.

Hegerberg then completed her hat-trick on the half-hour after the overlapping Bronze whipped in a ball from the right and Hegerberg took full advantage of the opportunity to beat Sandra Panos again.
