Lyon may have lost out in the 2023/24 UEFA Women's Champions League final, but the French side's forward Kadidiatou Diani won the top scorer race for the season with eight goals.
Diani completed her haul 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 that helped take Lyon to Bilbao.
Further back, Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí buried the first goal in the final to move onto six, finishing level in third with club-mate Salma Paralluelo. Bonmatí did finish top of the assists table, however, also on six, one ahead of another Barcelona player, Caroline Graham Hansen.
Benfica's Marie Alidou and Ajax's Romée Leuchter were top scorers for the season as a whole, including qualifying, on nine goals apiece.
