Chinese international footballer Wang Shuang has become the first Chinese to score in the Uefa Champions League.
Dubbed ‘Lady Messi’ by her fans, the forward hit the second goal in Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-0 win over Swedish side Linkoping FC in the women’s edition of the tournament.
Recovering the ball from an opposition defender, Wang let fly from outside the area and wrong-footed the goalkeeper with the aid of a massive deflection from a defender.
