Having missed last season's final defeat by 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam, Olympique Lyonnais forward Lotta Schelin has an extra taste for revenge as the sides prepare to renew acquaintances in this year's showpiece. Sweden forward Schelin has more than played her part in Lyon's march to Craven Cottage, scoring nine times – including twice in the semi-finals – en route to what she predicts will be the "proudest moment" of her career. Speaking to UEFA.com, the 27-year-old also discusses her earliest football memories, Lyon coach Patrice Lair and the strength of women's football in Germany.
