Meanwhile, Schüller fired in 16 goals to finish top scorer in the Frauen-Bundesliga, but unfortunately missed the action in Euro 2022 due to a positive Covid test at the start of the tournament.

Alexandra Popp, who is due to play in tonight’s final with England, came second in the voting.

Robert Lewandowski – now at Barcelona – finished a close second in the men’s category, with 128 votes to 134 for Nkunku.
