Encarnita Lopez Garcia

This flamboyant Spanish center-back commands the backline with an unrelenting style and an aerial dominance that seems to defy the laws of physics. She brings her theatrical nature to life, like the time she swapped into gold-trimmed flamenco heels at halftime of a final to celebrate a picture-perfect slide tackle. While her stamina can occasionally dip under extreme pressure, her imposing strength and surgical tackling make every opposing striker look ordinary.
