"The UWCL table has Barcelona, Real Madrid, Wolfsburg and OL Lyonnes at the top with perfect records, but Manchester United also join them with a 100% record after two games. This week, OL Lyonnes superstar Lily Yohannes scored a wonder goal, Paris Saint-Germain struggled while Chelsea and Arsenal overcame their recent blips, and Belgian minnows OH Leuven continued to go against the odds."
"Yohannes' star has been on the rise for a long time now but the 18-year-old midfielder announced herself in style with a stunning first UWCL goal for OL Lyonnes against St Polten. The audacity to try and lob the goalkeeper from 40 yards out speaks of a player who knows she is already a special talent. Both her and international teammate Alyssa Thompson -- who also got off the mark in Europe for Chelsea with a strike against Paris FC -- have Ballon d'Or potential"
