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.
