3️⃣ PSG stars who could light up the Women's World Cup | OneFootball

With the 2023 Women’s World Cup almost upon us, it’s time to look at who will be the game-changers in Australia and New Zealand.

After impressing at club level, here are three Paris Saint-Germain players to look out for.

Lieke Martens (Netherlands)

With the Netherlands missing star forward Vivianne Miedema, the door is open for Lieke Martens to rekindle the talents that saw her light up Euro 2017.

Martens was the star of that tournament as the Dutch won on home soil and her efforts saw her pick up the FIFA Women’s Best Player Award that year.

The winger helped her country to the World Cup final two years later but has struggled to hit form in recent seasons, not hitting the heights expected of her at PSG since a move from Barcelona last summer.

However, she has still contributed five goals and five assists in 10 international games for 2023 and the Dutch will need that form to continue in Miedema’s absence.

Grace Geyoro (France)

The biggest question with Geyoro is where you can expect to see her. A capable defender, a natural midfielder, a forward when needed, Geyoro has the quality to do it all.

That was already clear at last summer’s Euros and the 26-year-old is now ready to deliver on the world stage.

The 26-year-old’s passing is pristine but it is her ability to break into the box and offer a goal threat that sets her apart from other midfielders.

She already has 15 goals in 64 appearances for France (seven of those strikes coming in 2023) and has everything needed to be a game-changer Down Under.

If manager Hervé Renard can get the best out of Geyoro, France could have a potential Player of the Tournament on their hands.

Ramona Bachmann (Switzerland)

The final PSG star to watch will be wearing the Switzerland kit, and after her best season in club football, she’ll be keen to lead the way for her country.

The 32-year-old hit a personal best of 13 goal contributions (combined nine goals and four assists in the league and UWCL) in 2022/23. And it has been a fine year on international duty too, with the forward adding six goals and four assists for Die Nati in 2023.

Bachmann is a threat in the box and will not shy away from an audacious effort from distance. If dropped into midfield, she’s combative and will relish the physical contest.

And she’s shone on the biggest stage before, netting a World Cup hat-trick in 2015 to announce herself at international level.
