Amandine Henry left her mark on the 2021-22 Women's Champions League final.
And how.
Opposed to FC Barcelona during the duel at the top of the European season, Olympique Lyonnais kicked off the match played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin (Italy) in the best possible way.
The 32-year-old French international, started by Sonia Bompastor in a three-man midfield alongside Catarina Macarino and Lindsey Horan, scored one of the goals of the year.
From the 5th minute of play, Henry went to recover the ball from the feet of Alexia Putellas, Ballon d'Or last season.
An air of déjà vu in the final
The Lyonnaise quickly got up from her tackle, before moving forward and unleashing an absolutely luminous strike with the right foot, from more than 30 meters.
The ball came to clear the opposite corner of Barcelona goalkeeper Sandra Panos, surprised by the power of the missile.
TAKE.
A.BOW.

Against Barcelona, OL, who lead 3-0 in the first period, have the opportunity to win the eighth Champions League in their history, after 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. This poster between the Lyonnaises and the Catalans is the same as in the final of the 2018-19 edition.
The Lyonnaises had then made short work of the Barcelonanaises, crushed 4-1.
