Ada Hegerberg

Ada Hegerberg is one of the most complete strikers women's football has produced, and I rate her as much for her spine as for her goals. The Lyon trophies and that first-ever Ballon d'Or Féminin in 2018 are extraordinary, but what fascinates me is her willingness to step away from the national team over how the women's game was treated. That's conviction, not convenience. Plenty of stars stay quiet; she used her standing to push for better, widening the path for those behind her. Clinical on the pitch, principled off it. That combination earns my full admiration.
