Lindsey Heaps Lyon GFX

Figure pionnière de la sélection américaine, Heaps mérite un dénouement digne d’un conte de fées à Lyon

Lindsey Heaps a accompli des exploits incroyables tout au long de sa carrière. Avec l’équipe nationale féminine des États-Unis, elle a remporté la Coupe du monde, et elle a décroché 12 autres titres majeurs en club, dont la Ligue des champions. Mais c’est sans doute son rôle de pionnière pour le football féminin américain, à plus d’un titre, qui a eu le plus grand impact sur ce sport.

Ou un nouveau nom sera-t-il gravé sur le palmarès lors de la cérémonie parisienne d’octobre ?

Frequently asked questions

Manchester United and Liverpool both have 20 top-flight league titles to their name, and are the most successful sides in English history for league wins. With Liverpool securing their second Premier League in the 2024-25 season, they've won two in the Premier League era and 18 prior to its creation.

Garath Barry leads the way with 653 appearances for four different clubs: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Everton and West Bromwich Albion. James Milner is second with 637, winning PL titles with both Manchester City and Liverpool. He is still playing with Brighton, so could surpass Barry if he carries on.
