Kadidiatou Diani remains clear in the UEFA Women's Champions League top scorer race with just one game to go after getting her eighth of the campaign in Lyon's 3-2 semi-final first-leg defeat of Paris Saint-Germain.
Marie-Antoinette Katoto had drawn level with Diani by scoring twice to put Paris 2-0 up. But Diani restored her lead to begin a dramatic comeback – and with Lyon then completing victory over two legs, Katoto can no longer add to her tally.
One player who can is Barcelona's Salma Paralluelo, on six. A goal further back on five apiece are Benfica's Marie Alidou, Barça pair Aitana Bonmatí and Caroline Graham Hansen, Ada Hegerberg of Lyon, Paris's Tabitha Chawinga and Chelsea's Sam Kerr. Bonmatí, Graham Hansen and Hegerberg could all feature in Bilbao.
Alidou is the joint-overall top scorer for the season when goals in qualifying are included, level with Ajax's Romée Leuchter on nine apiece. Diani is closest to catching them with her eight strikes so far, Lyon having entered the competition in the group stage.
