Women's Champions League final: Lyon are a cut above the rest, which Barcelona learned the hard way

Lyon might not have been perfect in Saturday's pulsating Champions League final, but their 3-1 win over Barcelona was a convincing and richly deserved one. From Amandine Henry's sublime curler less than ten minutes in to the staunch and resolute defending of the perennial champions throughout the last ten minutes, Lyon proved that their strengths are to be found from the top to the bottom of the team.
