UPDATE 1-Soccer-Hegerberg's home broken into before women's Champions League final

OL Lyonnes striker ‌Ada ​Hegerberg's home in France was broken into the day before her side faced ‌Barcelona in the women's Champions League final in Oslo which the Spaniards won 4-0, her agent Victor Bernard said on ‌Sunday. "Her house was broken into late at night on ‌Friday and we had to deal with it until late hours," he told Reuters in a text conversation.

The Norwegian forward, who is the ⁠competition's ​all-time top ⁠scorer with 69 goals and a six-time winner of the trophy with ⁠Lyon, started Saturday's game but was substituted in the second ​half after an Achilles problem flared. French police were quick to ⁠respond to the break-in, but Hegerberg's rest on the eve of ⁠the ​final was disrupted as she helped them with enquiries. Bernard said some items were taken.

While break-ins have occurred ⁠at the homes of high-profile male players in the past, ⁠Hegerberg's representative ⁠said it was the first case they had heard of where a female player's home ‌was ‌targeted.
