OSLO, ⁠May 24 (Reuters) - OL Lyonnes striker Ada ⁠Hegerberg's home 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, according to a report ⁠from Norway's TV2.

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.

"Unfortunately, Ada experienced a break-in at ⁠her home ​on Friday night and had to deal with it well into the night. This is ⁠not how you want to ​spend the night before a Champions League final," a representative for her agents A&V Sports ⁠told TV2.

"Ultimately, we will never know what impact this had on her, but such is life."

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.
