OL Lyon once again demonstrated why they are one of the most respected and successful clubs in the history of women’s football. With a squad brimming with top-class talent, the French side maintained an exceptionally high standard both in domestic competitions and on the big European nights.

They dominated their domestic league by a clear margin and fought for the continental title right up to the very last match. This ability to consistently compete at the very highest level and feature in the most important finals justifies their nomination for the award.
