Pauline Bäckman

This Swedish goalkeeper is a bolt of lightning between the posts, capable of flight with cat-like agility that defies logic, though she sometimes rushes off her line too recklessly. Legend says that as a child, she saved a penalty in the schoolyard and celebrated with a backflip while the ball was still mid-air. With an imposing frame, her boundless energy turns every intervention into a display of sheer willpower.
