She was eight points ahead of her teammate, second-placed Lena Goeßling (97), who won the award last year. There was a considerable gap between the pair and Olympique Lyon’s Luisa Necib in third place (37).
This award is a tribute to a great year for Keßler, who captained both her national side and VfL Wolfsburg and was also named European Women’s Player of Year.
