Asisat Oshoala scored as Barcelona Ladies suffered 4-1 loss to Olympic Lyon in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final.

The Super Falcons striker netted a consolation goal for the Blaugrana before the final whistle after going four goals behind in the first half.

Oshoala was brought on as a second half substitute for Toni Duggan in the 66th minute but there was little she could do to save her team from losing the ultimate prize.

Dzsenifer Marozsan opened scoring for the French side as early as the fifth minute, while current Women's World Player of the Year, Ada Hegerberg scored a hat-trick before the break.

The win was Lyon's fourth successive Champions League title and their third trophy this season after winning the French Championship and the Coupe de France.
