Judith Saez

This flamboyant Chilean centre-back is a force of nature, shutting down attacks with masterclass tactical intelligence and blistering aggression, even if she occasionally loses out in pure physical duels. Before every kickoff, her teammates look on with amused bewilderment as she squats to whisper dark prophecies into her left boot, a bizarre ritual she claims keeps her grounded. With impeccable blocking and a relentless motor, she transforms the defensive line into a stage for her own theatrical and dominant displays.
