Balbina Mateu

Towering over opponents at 187cm, this Spanish titan is an impenetrable wall of pure physicality who rose to stardom after battling a childhood phobia of grass. Now, her relentless defensive intensity and masterclass in positioning make her a nightmare for strikers, even if her sluggish start off the mark often keeps her managers on edge. She channels every ounce of that former fear into an uncompromising, high-energy presence that dominates every aerial duel.
