BUDAPEST — It was never in doubt.

With a goal after five minutes and a hat trick by its star striker Ada Hegerberg in the first half-hour, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin produced a performance of crushing dominance on Saturday to beat Barcelona, 4-1, and claim a record fourth straight Champions League title.

It was also Lyon’s sixth Champions League crown in nine seasons, enhancing the team’s reputation as perhaps the most dominant team in sports. It became the first team, men’s or women’s, to win four consecutive Champions League crowns.
