The Norwegian star is injured and did not play in the final. But when the trophy was going to be lifted, one of the teammates made sure that Ada Hegerberg was still around in some way.

Wolfsburg-Lyon 1–3
“My girls.” Followed by two touched eyes and a heart.
Ada Stolsmo Hegerberg’s tweet was only two words long, but the room much more.
Well, it was a response to a short video clip in which Saki Kumagai showed a suit with Hegerberg and 14 on his back.
The Japanese star decided in many ways the final of the Champions League with his 2-0 goal.
After the match, she paid tribute to her Norwegian partner. Hegerberg has been out with a knee injury since January. It was clear that the rest of the French gallery of stars did not forget her.
– The joy is just as great
Well, Kumagai also wore the Hegerberg costume when the team received the trophy. He lifted the trophy that Lyon has won for five years in a row.
– The feeling and joy is as great as if he had played, writes Hegerberg in a message sent to Aftenposten.
About the Kumagai tribute, he says the following:
– It probably just says a little about how affectionate I have to fellow players.
Last year, Hegerberg became the great hero of the final with his treble.
The Norwegian top scorer tore his cruciate ligament in late January and has not played games since. Still he managed to score nine times in Lyons’ first four games in the most prestigious tournament.
He almost remained the top scorer. The 25-year-old finished a goal away from Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema.
Wolfsburg rose considerably
It was just before the break that Kumagai jumped from 20 meters and the shot was so strong that Friederike Abt was able to take it off in Wolfsburg’s goal. Lyon led 2-0, and the final seemed decided in many ways right there.
It wasn’t, because there was one round left and Wolfsburg rose considerably in the second.
However, they never came closer than the reduction of Alexandra Popp with just over half an hour to play, even though Lyon no longer looked as superior as in the first half.
However, they weathered the storm, and with two minutes remaining on the clock, Sara Gunnarsdottir removed all doubt. The Icelandic arrived this summer from Wolfsburg, and against her former teammates she directed the last goal of the game.
Thus, Lyon did as in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. They won the Champions League and are the best team in Europe.

Ingrid Syrstad Engen was the last Norwegian element in Wolfsburg’s midfield. The most important participation came when she tried to win the ball just outside her goal area in Lyons 2-0.
Unfortunately for Trøndelag, the ball went from his toe to Kumagai.
Trønder’s first season as a foreign professional ended with the league and gold cup in Germany, as well as the Champions League final. You can definitely hear it.
Ingrid Syrstad Engen saw hope after the reduction of Alexandra Popp. Ap
– We played finals to win so it’s a big disappointment, Danish Pernille Harder said after the final. It is considered one of the best in the world and now leaves Wolfsburg in favor of Chelsea and Maren Mjelde, Maria Thorisdottir and Guro Reiten.
It was French star Eugénie Le Sommer who gave Lyon the lead in the 25th minute. In the absence of Hegerberg, the match began at the forefront of Lyon’s attack. The victory was her seventh win in the Champions League and therefore she is with two more than her Norwegian teammate.
