53: Christiane Endler

The PSG and Chile No 1 has developed into one of the world’s top goalkeepers this year after taking the step up to France’s top flight. Endler kept 11 clean sheets for her club this year and was trusted to play in big games against rivals Lyon, but she will probably be best remembered for her role in helping Chile qualify for their first World Cup. She kept four clean sheets in the Copa América Femenina and then was sensational in a recent friendly scalp as Chile upset Australia 3-2.

Olivier Echouafni, PSG manager:

“Christiane is a calming force, bringing great serenity onto the pitch. She is a player with a lot of experience and maturity. She is now one of the best goalkeepers in the world and we are very proud to have her at Paris Saint-Germain.”
