England pair claim Champions League glory after dramatic Barcelona comeback - 5 talking points

Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze triumphed as Barcelona produced a sensational comeback to win the Women's Champions League final with a 3-2 triumph over Wolfsburg.

The Lionesses' stars both started for the Spanish Champions in Eindhoven, with Bronze making her first start since April, and helped their side to a dramatic victory after trailing at half-time. Things looked beak for the pair until Patricia Guijarro scored two goals in quick succession just after the break, before Fridolina Rolfo grabbed a dramatic winner.

Wolfsburg, winners in 2013 and 2014, stunned the favourites with an early goal from Ewa Pajor, her rocket too strong for Sandra Panos in the Barcelona goal, after an error from Bronze.
