Midfielder Dzsenifer Marozsan, who was confirmed in Germany's 23-person squad last week, scored the opener and was set-up by Netherlands winger Shanice van de Sanden.

Van de Sanden then provided Ada Hegerberg for her first goal, and the Ballon d'Or winner went on to score a 16-minute hat-trick with assists from England's Lucy Bronze and France's Amel Majri.

Some of the other international players in the squad were celebrating winning the European title for a sixth time, including France trio Eugenie Le Sommer, Wendie Renard and Sarah Bouhaddi.

But Bronze commiserated England team-mate Toni Duggan, who was on the losing side. The full-back said: "I'm devastated for her, as much as I'm happy that I've won. I want my England team-mates to do well. I just grabbed her and said we would just win the World Cup together instead."

Meanwhile, Marozsan lifted another trophy on Sunday when she was voted the best first division female player for the third time in a row.
