Lucy Bronze
was named the recipient of
The Best FIFA Women’s Player Award
after winning the treble in France with
Lyon
.
The 29-year-old defender, who moved back to
Manchester City
, beat Chelsea’s
Pernille Harder
and her former teammate
Wendie Renard
to claim the award.
"Wow, what a surprise to even be nominated alongside the two other players, who I know very well," she said.
"Both Pernille Harder and Wendie Renard are incredible players and outstanding human beings, as well. To even be alongside two players of that stature is incredible.
"To have won it, I don't think I have the words right now to explain how I'm feeling.
"But if there's anything that 2020 has taught us, it's to appreciate every single moment that you've got, to never look too far ahead, and to live in the here and now.
"So I think winning this award right now, this year, I will appreciate it more than ever.
"I'll remember this moment for the rest of my life. I really will just enjoy the moment."
