"Amid a much-changed OL Lyonnes squad, the club's full-scale rebranding (from Olympique Lyonnais Féminin) and its permanent move to the 59,186-seater Groupama Stadium, some things always stay the same: death, taxes, and Ada Hegerberg scoring. Goal No. 67 in the UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) in their eventual 3-0 win over St. Pölten on Matchday 2 was overshadowed by a stunning long-range chip from United States teenager Lily Yohannes, but the competition's all-time leading scorer is still going strong at the age of 30."
"Hegerberg has been at the top of the competition's scoring charts for six years, having surpassed Anja Mittag's previous record of 51 goals from 68 games back in 2019 -- the Norway international equaled that 51 in just 49 games, then broke it with a brace in her next match. Since then, she has further separated from the chasing pack and has a total of 63 goals: 58 for OL Lyonnes, the club she joined back in 2014; two for Stabaek; and two for Turbine Potsdam. With OL Lyonnes, Hegerberg has won the French League 10 times and the UWCL on six occasions, and she was named the first recipient of the Women's Ballon d'Or in 2018. It's an astonishing record, but her career is about more than personal and team goals."
OL Lyonnes has rebranded and moved permanently to the 59,186-seater Groupama Stadium while retaining on-field strengths. Ada Hegerberg scored her 67th UEFA Women's Champions League goal in a 3-0 win over St. Pölten, despite United States teenager Lily Yohannes's stunning long-range chip. Hegerberg broke Anja Mittag's 51-goal UWCL record in 2019 after reaching 51 in 49 games and has remained the competition's top scorer for six years. She has 63 UWCL goals — 58 for OL Lyonnes, two for Stabaek and two for Turbine Potsdam — and has won 10 French league titles, six UWCL trophies and the inaugural Women's Ballon d'Or in 2018.
