Louna Ribadeira has been named 2023 Women's Under-19 EURO Player of the Tournament. The Paris forward was the standout performer for France as they reached the semi-finals in Belgium.
Ribadeira finished as the tournament's top scorer with four goals and was a constant threat to the opposition with her direct running and clinical finishing.
Perhaps the pick of her goals was the first in a 3-2 semi-final defeat by Germany, where she skilfully poked the ball past a defender before rifling a powerful shot beyond the goalkeeper.
