Berta Melgar

Towering and explosively fast, this flamboyant Uruguayan center-back hunts strikers with ruthless aggression and spectacular slide tackles, though her aerial game often leaves her grounded. She insists on whispering heartfelt poems to her left cleat before kickoff, a quirky ritual that leaves her bewildered teammates rolling their eyes in the tunnel. She remains unfazed, using that strange focus to dominate the backline with unmatched intensity.
