Sarah Bouhaddi: Women's Champions League goalkeeper of the 2019/20 season

Sarah Bouhaddi has been named the first UEFA Women's Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season at the UEFA Awards ceremony in Geneva.

Having committed her future to Lyon just before the 2020 finals, Bouhaddi helped them to their fifth straight title and seventh overall in what was their ninth decider. The 33-year-old France goalkeeper has been part of every one of those successes alongside Wendie Renard. Bouhaddi topped the poll ahead of final opponent Christiane Endler of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona's Sandra Paños.

The jury comprised the coaches of the eight clubs that participated in the 2019/20 UEFA Women’s Champions League final tournament in Spain, and 20 journalists specialising in women’s football and selected by the ESM group.

Coaches and journalists were requested to pick a shortlist of three players by allocating respectively five points, three points and one point to each of them. The final result was based on the total number of votes cast by the coaches and the journalists. The coaches were not allowed to choose players from their own team.
