Girelli is a legend of Italian football, a status she further enhanced with her 60th and 61st goals for her country. The 35-year-old is now looking forward to a semi-final clash with either defending champions England or Sweden next week. Meanwhile, Lehmann will hope her Switzerland side can cause an almighty upset when the tournament hosts take on World Cup winners Spain in their last eight encounter.

While Girelli and her Italian counterparts will eagerly be awaiting who comes out on top between England and Sweden, Lehmann's Switzerland host Spain in Bern for their quarter-final on Friday.
