Alex Morgan and Lyon Claim UEFA Champions League Title
Alex Morgan has added another trophy to her long list of accomplishments as Lyon defeated Paris Saint-Germain in a penalty shootout in the UEFA Champions League final.
Despite leaving the match early on, Morgan’s night ended on a happy note as she watched goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi convert a penalty that gave Lyon the title. The match was contested in Cardiff City, Wales where the men’s final will be played this coming Saturday.
Morgan has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for the past few weeks and it flared up again just 18 minutes into the match and she was subsequently substituted in the 22nd minute.
