Oshoala to get Champions League medal as Barcelona defeat Lyon

Super Falcons forward, Asisat Oshoala, is set to receive a Champions League medal after Barcelona beat Lyon 2-0 in the final on Saturday.

This is despite Oshoala leaving the Spanish club to join Bay FC earlier this year.

Barcelona retained the trophy thanks to goals from Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas.

Sonia Bompastor – who is expected to replace Emma Hayes as Chelsea manager – failed to clinch the send-off she had hoped for as Lyon.

The record eight-time European champions, suffered defeat in a Champions League final for the first time in their history.

The result caps an unprecedented quadruple for Barcelona having already secured Liga F, the Copa de la Reina and the Spanish Super Cup.
