Plenty of American stars have played in Europe's premier competition but those who have won it make up quite an exclusive club

Redemption. That's what Barcelona were looking for in Oslo on Saturday. After losing the Champions League final last year, the Catalans were back in the showpiece event 12 months on and they got what they were after and then some, beating eight-time winners Lyon 4-0 to emphatically reclaim the status of champions of Europe.

Barcelona claimed their fourth Women's Champions League title on Saturday evening, as two goals apiece from Ewa Pajor and Salma Paralluelo allowed the Catalans to beat eight-time winners Lyon 4-0 in Oslo. It was Pajor's sixth final, with her having lost the previous five. But the Poland international finally got her hands on that UWCL trophy this year, grabbing the headlines in the process.

Lindsey Heaps can become the first American to win two UWCL titles, strengthening her case as the best U.S. player to ever build a career in Europe.
